[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v4 1/1] selftests: drv-net-hw: skip the tests that need a real interface

ethtool, ethtool_extended_state, ethtool_rmon, hw_stats_l3 and
hw_stats_l3_gre need hardware: link speed, extended link state, rmon
counters, L3 statistics offload. With no interfaces configured lib.sh
substitutes a veth pair, and every case fails on what veth does not
have.

Upstream runs these tests on real hardware only and dropped the veth
check in commit 0c499a351777 ("selftests: forwarding: Ditch
skip_on_veth()"), so this patch is not for upstream.

Skip when the first interface the test would use is a veth, or does
not exist and lib.sh would create one. Real interfaces, named in
forwarding.config or on the command line, run as before, and so does a
run that picks its interfaces by driver with NETIF_FIND_DRIVER. The
check runs before lib.sh is sourced, since lib.sh creates the pair as
it is sourced and would leave it behind.
