The rx-udp-gro-forwarding checks fail with "got 10 packets, expected 1"
on a host where something has a UDP tunnel socket, a vxlan say, and
pass on a host where nothing does. Since commit 36707061d6ba ("udp:
allow forwarding of plain (non-fraglisted) UDP GRO packets") the
feature aggregates only datagrams GRO finds no socket for, and GRO
looks the socket up only once a tunnel socket exists on the host; the
checks send to a socket in the receiving namespace, so they pass only
while nothing looks it up.

Let the destination forward the datagrams to a receiver in a namespace
behind it: no local socket is found there, tunnel or not, and the
checks count what the destination receives as before.

Fixes: 1c3cadbe0242 ("self-tests: add veth tests")

Similar to the cleanup code above, this can probably reuse the loop in
create_ns?

Also a bit confusing that NS_DST is no longer the dst, but keeps its name
and now there is an additional NS_RCV.

What takes this down?
