Dmitry Safonov e5ddf19dbc net/selftests: Add loopback link local route for self-connect
self-connect-ipv6 got slightly flaky on netdev:
> # timeout set to 120
> # selftests: net/tcp_ao: self-connect_ipv6
> # 1..5
> # # 708[lib/setup.c:250] rand seed 1742872572

> # not ok 1 # error 708[self-connect.c:70] failed to connect()
> # ok 2 No unexpected trace events during the test run
> # # Planned tests != run tests (5 != 2)
> # # Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:1
> ok 1 selftests: net/tcp_ao: self-connect_ipv6

I can not reproduce it on my machines, but judging by "Ip6OutNoRoutes"
there is no route to the local_addr (::1).

Looking at the kernel code, I see that kernel does add link-local
address automatically in init_loopback(), but that is called from
ipv6 notifier block. So, in turn the userspace that brought up
the loopback interface may see rtnetlink ACK earlier than
addrconf_notify() does it's job (at least, on a slow VM such as netdev).
Probably, for ipv4 it's the same, judging by inetdev_event().

The fix is quite simple: set the link-local route straight after
bringing the loopback interface. That will make it synchronous.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
