[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Retry stat generation in cgroup_iter_memcg

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

Each cgroup_iter_memcg subtest touches 1024 pages and expects the matching
memcg counter to be non-zero. On a host with many CPUs it reads zero
instead:

  test_anon:FAIL:final anon mapped val: actual 0 <= expected 0

memcg stats are cached per-cpu and only become visible once the periodic
flusher runs (FLUSH_TIME, 2s), or once pending updates cross
MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH * num_online_cpus(). That threshold is 512 pages at 8
CPUs but 8192 at 128, so a single pass no longer reaches it and
bpf_mem_cgroup_flush_stats() returns without flushing anything.

Retry the stat generation, sleeping in between, so that a flusher cycle is
always covered.

Fixes: 6bce6ddbe634 ("bpf: selftests: selftests for memcg stat kfuncs")
