selftests: net: make busywait timeout clock portable

loopy_wait() expects millisecond timestamps. However, Ubuntu Resolute
can use uutils date, where `date -u +%s%3N` returns seconds plus full
nanoseconds instead of a 3-digit millisecond field. This makes
busywait expire too early and can make vlan_bridge_binding.sh read a
stale operstate.
