selftests: return failure when timestamps can't be reported
When I was trying to modify the tx timestamping feature, I found that running "./txtimestamp -4 -C -L 127.0.0.1" didn't reflect the error: I succeeded to generate timestamp stored in the skb but later failed to report it to the userspace (which means failed to put css into cmsg). It can happen when someone writes buggy codes in __sock_recv_timestamp(), for example. After adding the check so that running ./txtimestamp will reflect the result correctly like this if there is a bug in the reporting phase: protocol: TCP payload: 10 server port: 9000 family: INET test SND USR: 1725458477 s 667997 us (seq=0, len=0) Failed to report timestamps USR: 1725458477 s 718128 us (seq=0, len=0) Failed to report timestamps USR: 1725458477 s 768273 us (seq=0, len=0) Failed to report timestamps USR: 1725458477 s 818416 us (seq=0, len=0) Failed to report timestamps ... In the future, it will help us detect whether the new coming patch has bugs or not.
