selftests: net: avoid just another constant wait

Using hard-coded constant timeout to wait for some expected
event is deemed to fail sooner or later, especially in slow
env.

Our CI has spotted another of such race:
   # TEST: ipv6: cleanup of cached exceptions - nexthop objects          [FAIL]
   #   can't delete veth device in a timely manner, PMTU dst likely leaked

Replace the crude sleep with a loop looking for the expected condition
at low interval for a much longer range.
