Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] selftests/tcp_ao: Fix fscanf() call for
 format-security

From: Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@...il.com>

On my new laptop with packages from nixos-unstable, gcc 12.3.0 produces:
> lib/proc.c: In function ‘netstat_read_type’:
> lib/proc.c:89:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
>    89 |         if (fscanf(fnetstat, type->header_name) == EOF)
>       |         ^~
> cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Here the selftests lib parses header name, while expectes non-space word
ending with a column.

Fixes: cfbab37b3da0 ("selftests/net: Add TCP-AO library")
