[PATCH net-next mlxsw v3 09/10] selftests: forwarding: lib: Add lldpad waiting functions

[Petr Machata]

lldpad can sometimes take a long time to push the configured values to
the kernel. In the mean time they are stuck in pending state. Add a new
function, lldpad_wait_set(), to wait until all values that have been set
are pushed.

The situation is similar for deletes, where however there is no good
indication of whether the values are pending. Just sleep 5, which seems
to be enough time for lldpad to consistently update the kernel. (Unlike
in previous case, where the delay is often in the 30s ballpark.)
