Petr Machata 04cfbc1d89 selftests: forwarding: ethtool_extended_state: Convert to busywait
Currently, this script sets up the test scenario, which is supposed to end
in an inability of the system to negotiate a link. It then waits for a bit,
and verifies that the system can diagnose why the link was not established.

The wait time for the scenario where different link speeds are forced on
the two ends of a loopback cable, was set to 4 seconds, which exactly
covered it. As of a recent mlxsw firmware update, this time gets longer,
and this test starts failing.

The time that selftests currently wait for links to be established is
currently $WAIT_TIMEOUT, or 20 seconds. It seems reasonable that if this is
the time necessary to establish and bring up a link, it should also be
enough to determine that a link cannot be established and why.

Therefore in this patch, convert the sleeps to busywaits, so that if a
failure is established sooner (as is expected), the test runs quicker. And
use $WAIT_TIMEOUT as the time to wait.
