Jakub Kicinski 46411c8890 selftests: drv-net: so_txtime: remember to deploy the binaries
The test seems to be written with a single-host loopback
in mind. We need to deploy the binary to remote before
we run it. This is just fixing an obvious issue, but
more work will be needed to make the dual-host setup
work reliably. Most of the runs still fail with:

  FAIL: start time already passed

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
