Subject: Hangs during tls multi_chunk_sendfile selftest

I've observed that the tls multi_chunk_sendfile selftest hangs during
recv() and ultimately times out, and it seems to have done so even when
the test was first introduced. Reading through the commit message when
it was added (0e6fbe39bdf7 "net/tls(TLS_SW): Add selftest for 'chunked'
sendfile test") I get the impression that the test is meant to
demonstrate a problem with ktls, but there's no indication that the
problem has been fixed.

Am I right that the expectation is that this test will fail? If that's
the case, shouldn't this test be removed until the problem is fixed?

Thanks,
Seth
