[PATCH net] selftests: drv-net: so_txtime: relax variance bounds

[Willem de Bruijn]

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

The net-next-hw spinners on netdev.bots.linux.dev observe failing
so-txtime-py tests. A review of stdout shows most failures to be
due to exceeding the 4ms grace period. All I saw were within 8ms.
So increase to that.

Double the bounds from 4 to 8ms. This is still is small enough to
differentiate the delays programmed by the test, 10 and 20ms.

Fixes: 5c6baef3885c ("selftests: drv-net: convert so_txtime to drv-net")
