selftests/bpf: Wait for the netstamp_needed_key static key to be turned on

After the previous patch that speeded up the test (by avoiding neigh
discovery in IPv6), the BPF CI occasionally hits this error:

rcv tstamp unexpected pkt rcv tstamp: actual 0 == expected 0

The test complains about the cmsg returned from the recvmsg() does not
have the rcv timestamp. Setting skb->tstamp or not is
controlled by a kernel static key "netstamp_needed_key". The static
key is enabled whenever this is at least one sk with the SOCK_TIMESTAMP
set.

The test_redirect_dtime does use setsockopt() to turn on
the SOCK_TIMESTAMP for the reading sk. In the kernel
net_enable_timestamp() has a delay to enable the "netstamp_needed_key"
when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set. This potential delay is the likely reason
for packet missing rcv timestamp occasionally.

This patch is to create udp sockets with SOCK_TIMESTAMP set.
It sends and receives some packets until the received packet
has a rcv timestamp. It currently retries at most 5 times with 1s
in between. This should be enough to wait for the "netstamp_needed_key".
It then holds on to the socket and only closes it at the end of the test.
This guarantees that the test has the "netstamp_needed_key" key turned
on from the beginning.

To simplify the udp sockets setup, they are sending/receiving packets
in the same netns (ns_dst is used) and communicate over the "lo" dev.
Hence, the patch enables the "lo" dev in the ns_dst.
