selftests: drv-net: devmem: set reuseaddr on the sender's source port

Browse source

devmem.py fails on the HW runners with:

  CMD[remote]: dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 2>/dev/null | socat -b 512 \
    -u - TCP6:[fd00:2::1]:50051,bind=[fd00:2::2]:50051,nodelay
    STDERR: socat[41018] W bind(5, {AF=10 [fd00:2::2]:50051}, 28): \
            Address already in use

ncdevmem installs a 5-tuple flow rule which matches the source port, so
socat has to bind it explicitly. The port comes from rand_port(), which
checks availability on the DUT - but we bind on the remote...
That said the failure rate seems to high to be random collisions
(~2% per sub-test). It's probably TIME_WAIT sockets on the remote,
run_rx_hds() alone creates 12 of them.

Set reuseaddr so a TIME_WAIT socket does not fail the bind. Collisions
with a live socket are still possible, we'll see if they are frequent
enough to care.
