[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: check jq command is supported

[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: check jq command is supported

[Wang Liang]

The jq command is used in vlan_bridge_binding.sh, if it is not supported,
the test will spam the following log.

  # ./vlan_bridge_binding.sh: line 51: jq: command not found
  # ./vlan_bridge_binding.sh: line 51: jq: command not found
  # ./vlan_bridge_binding.sh: line 51: jq: command not found
  # ./vlan_bridge_binding.sh: line 51: jq: command not found
  # ./vlan_bridge_binding.sh: line 51: jq: command not found
  # TEST: Test bridge_binding on->off when lower down                   [FAIL]
  #       Got operstate of , expected 0

The rtnetlink.sh has the same problem. It makes sense to check if jq is
installed before running these tests. After this patch, the
vlan_bridge_binding.sh skipped if jq is not supported:

  # timeout set to 3600
  # selftests: net: vlan_bridge_binding.sh
  # TEST: jq not installed                                              [SKIP]

This looks more a fix than net-next material (and net-next is currently
closed for the merge window).

Please re-post for net including suitable fixes tag(s). You can retain
Hangbin's ack.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reminder!

I missed the ANN e-mail when I was in Chinese National Day vacation. I will
repost this patch for net later.
