Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/12] selftests/vsock: make wait_for_listener()
 work even if pipefail is on

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@...a.com>

Save/restore pipefail to not mistakenly trip the if-condition
in wait_for_listener().

awk doesn't gracefully handle SIGPIPE with a non-zero exit code, so grep
exiting upon finding a match causes false-positives when the pipefail
option is used. This will enable pipefail usage, so that we can losing
failures when piping test output into log() functions.

Fixes: a4a65c6fe08b ("selftests/vsock: add initial vmtest.sh for vsock")
