Subject: [PATCH net] selftests/net: Interpret UDP_GRO cmsg data as an int value

Data passed to user-space with a (SOL_UDP, UDP_GRO) cmsg carries an
int (see udp_cmsg_recv), not a u16 value, as strace confirms:

  recvmsg(8, {msg_name=...,
              msg_iov=[{iov_base="\0\0..."..., iov_len=96000}],
              msg_iovlen=1,
              msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20,         <-- sizeof(cmsghdr) + 4
                            cmsg_level=SOL_UDP,
                            cmsg_type=0x68}],    <-- UDP_GRO
                            msg_controllen=24,
                            msg_flags=0}, 0) = 11200

Interpreting the data as an u16 value won't work on big-endian platforms.
Since it is too late to back out of this API decision [1], fix the test.
