[PATCH net-next] selftests: drv-net: Enable ntuple-filters if supported

[Dimitri Daskalakis]

From: Dimitri Daskalakis <daskald@meta.com>

Certain devices which support ntuple-filters do not enable the feature
by default. The existing tests will skip (if they check for the feature),
or fail if they blindly attempt to install rules. Therefore, attempt to turn
on ntuple-filters if the device supports them.

net-next wasn't open yet, when you posted.
Please resubmit in a couple of days.
