The sctp selftest is very slow on debug kernels.
Its possible that the nf_queue listener program exits due to timeout
before first sctp packet is processed.
In this case socat hangs until script times out.
Fix this by removing the -t option where possible and kill the test
program once the file transfer/socat has exited.
-t sets SO_RCVTIMEO, its inteded for the 'ping' part of the selftest
where we want to make sure that packets get reinjected properly without
skipping a second queue request.
While at it, add a helper to compare the (binary) files instead of diff.
The 'diff' part was copied from a another sub-test that compares text.
Let helper dump file sizes on error so we can see the progress made.
Tested on an old 2010-ish box with a debug kernel and 100 iterations.
This is a followup to the earlier filesize reduction change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
