selftests: net: Add protodown tests
Add a selftest for the protodown mechanism.
Five test cases are included:
1. Basic protodown toggling: Verify that setting protodown on macvlan
results in DOWN operational state and clearing it restores UP.
2. Same as the previous test case, but with vxlan.
3. Protodown reasons: Verify that protodown cannot be cleared while
there are active protodown reasons, but can be cleared once all
reasons are removed.
4. Protodown with lower device being toggled: Verify that toggling the
lower device's carrier while protodown is on does not cause the
macvlan to gain carrier.
5. Protodown with lower device down: Verify that toggling protodown
while the lower device has no carrier does not cause the macvlan to
gain carrier.
Note that the last two test cases fail without "net: Do not turn on
carrier when protodown is on" and "net: Do not unconditionally turn on
carrier when turning off protodown":
# ./protodown.sh
TEST: Basic protodown on/off with macvlan [ OK ]
TEST: Basic protodown on/off with vxlan [ OK ]
TEST: Protodown reasons [ OK ]
TEST: Protodown with lower device toggled [FAIL]
Macvlan operational state is not DOWN despite protodown
TEST: Protodown with lower device down [FAIL]
Macvlan is not LOWERLAYERDOWN after clearing protodown
