This looks good. Unfortunately can't repro the issue locally anymore.
But once this gets into bpf-next and we update libbpf in Github, I'll
enable sockmap_listen tests again and see if it's still flaky. Thanks
for following up!

Stanislav, would you get a chance to do something similar for tcp_rtt
as well? Seems like all the tests dealing with sockets might use this
approach?
