[patch net] selftests: forwarding: fix race between packet receive and tc check

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

It is possible that tc stats get checked before the packet we check for
actually arrived into the interface and accounted for.
Fix it by checking for the expected result in a loop until
timeout is reached (by default 1 second).
