[PATCH net-next] selftests: drv-net: so_txtime: fix qdisc replace with handle

[Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>]

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

The blamed commit updated a tc replace command by adding a handle.

  -    tc(f"qdisc replace dev {ifname} root {qdisc} {optargs}")
  +    tc(f"qdisc replace dev {ifname} root handle 1: {qdisc} {optargs}")

This breaks the test if the root qdisc already has that handle and is of
different kind, with

  "Invalid qdisc name: must match existing qdisc."

If no handle is asked, or the kind differs, tc replace removes the old
qdisc and grafts a new one.

If a handle is asked and exists, tc replace tries to change the qdisc
in place, for which the kind must be the same.

It does not trigger in all setups, like netdevsim or debian 13, which
do not have root handle 1:. But it is a common root handle.

Solve the bug by first deleting the existing root qdisc if one exists.

Wrap that command in a try block, because it will fail for default
qdiscs with handle 0: with

  "Error: Cannot delete qdisc with handle of zero."
