[PATCH RESEND] selftests: nettest: Fix typo in log and error messages for clarity

[Alok Tiwari]

This patch corrects several logging and error message typos in nettest.c:
- Corrects function name in log messages "setsockopt" -> "getsockopt".
- Closes missing parentheses in "setsockopt(IPV6_FREEBIND)".
- Replaces misleading error text ("Invalid port") with the correct
  description ("Invalid prefix length").
- remove Redundant wording like "status from status" and clarifies
  context in IPC error messages.

These changes improve readability and aid in debugging test output.

You should have waited the 24h grace period before resending:

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.16 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after June 8th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
