Paolo Abeni e468e5e6ab selftests: mptcp: more stable simult_flows tests
commit 8c09412e58 upstream.

By default, the netem qdisc can keep up to 1000 packets under its belly
to deal with the configured rate and delay. The simult flows test-case
simulates very low speed links, to avoid problems due to slow CPUs and
the TCP stack tend to transmit at a slightly higher rate than the
(virtual) link constraints.

All the above causes a relatively large amount of packets being enqueued
in the netem qdiscs - the longer the transfer, the longer the queue -
producing increasingly high TCP RTT samples and consequently increasingly
larger receive buffer size due to DRS.

When the receive buffer size becomes considerably larger than the needed
size, the tests results can flake, i.e. because minimal inaccuracy in the
pacing rate can lead to a single subflow usage towards the end of the
connection for a considerable amount of data.

Address the issue explicitly setting netem limits suitable for the
configured link speeds and unflake all the affected tests.
