[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 1/2] selftests: net: veth: check UDP GRO forwarding on forwarded traffic

The rx-udp-gro-forwarding checks fail with "got 10 packets, expected 1"
on a host where something has a UDP tunnel socket, a vxlan say, and
pass on a host where nothing does. Since commit 36707061d6ba ("udp:
allow forwarding of plain (non-fraglisted) UDP GRO packets") the
feature aggregates only datagrams GRO finds no socket for, and GRO
looks the socket up only once a tunnel socket exists on the host; the
checks send to a socket in the receiving namespace, so they pass only
while nothing looks it up.
This tree made them pass by changing the kernel instead, in commit
8ce3afeec4ca ("udp: let rx-udp-gro-forwarding aggregate under
encapsulation"), which upstream did not take.

Let the destination forward the datagrams to a receiver in a namespace
behind it: no local socket is found there, tunnel or not, and the
checks count what the destination receives as before.
