[PATCH net] selftests: net: switch to socat in the GSO GRE test

[PATCH net] selftests: net: switch to socat in the GSO GRE test

[Jakub Kicinski]

Commit a985442fdecb ("selftests: net: properly support IPv6 in GSO GRE test")
is not compatible with:

  Ncat: Version 7.80 ( https://nmap.org/ncat )

(which is distributed with Fedora/Red Hat), tests fail with:

  nc: invalid option -- 'N'

Let's switch to socat which is far more dependable.

Fixes: a985442fdecb ("selftests: net: properly support IPv6 in GSO GRE test")
