Subject: [PATCH v3 net] selftests: net: cope with slow env in gro.sh test

The gro self-tests sends the packets to be aggregated with
multiple write operations.

When running is slow environment, it's hard to guarantee that
the GRO engine will wait for the last packet in an intended
train.

The above causes almost deterministic failures in our CI for
the 'large' test-case.

Address the issue explicitly ignoring failures for such case
in slow environments (KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW==true).

v2 -> v3:
  - dump the error suppression message only on actual errors (Jakub)
v1 -> v2:
  - replace the '-a' operator with '&&' - Mattbe

Note that the fixes tag is there mainly to justify targeting the net
tree, and this is aiming at net to hopefully make the test more stable
ASAP for both trees.
