Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] selftests/net: fix waiting time for ipv6_gc test in fib_tests.sh.

ipv6_gc fails occasionally. According to the study, fib6_run_gc() using
jiffies_round() to round the GC interval could increase the waiting time up
to 750ms (3/4 seconds). The timer has a granularity of 512ms at the range
4s to 32s. That means a route with an expiration time E seconds can wait
for more than E * 2 + 1 seconds if the GC interval is also E seconds.

E * 2 + 2 seconds should be enough for waiting for removing routes.

Also remove a check immediately after replacing 5 routes since it is very
likely to remove some of routes before completing the last route with a
slow environment.

I made the follow change to simulate the case that a route misses the first
GC, and the waiting time of the next GC is rounded up by round_jiffies())
adding 750ms extra waiting time.

The following is the test case.

    fib6_gc_test()
    {
    	setup

    	echo
    	echo "Fib6 garbage collection test"
    	set -e

    	EXPIRE=5

    	# Check expiration of routes every $EXPIRE seconds (GC)
    	$NS_EXEC sysctl -wq net.ipv6.route.gc_interval=$EXPIRE

    	$IP link add dummy_10 type dummy
    	$IP link set dev dummy_10 up
    	$IP -6 address add 2001:10::1/64 dev dummy_10

    	$NS_EXEC sysctl -wq net.ipv6.route.flush=1

    	# Temporary routes
    	$IP -6 route add 2001:20::1 \
    		via 2001:10::2 dev dummy_10 expires $EXPIRE

    	sleep $(($EXPIRE * 4 + 1))
    	set +e

    	cleanup &> /dev/null
    }

According to what I found from the kernel messages, the route waited
11.258s before being removed. It is longer than $EXPIRE * 2 + 1 seconds
where EXPIRE=5.

    [    8.674004] fib6_add expires
    [   19.932557] fib6_age expiring

Waiting for EXPIRE * 2 + 2 seconds should be enough for non-debug build.
