Subject: [PATCH] selftests: net: add missing NFT_FWD_NETDEV to config

When running xfrm_policy.sh we see the following

Rework to enable CONFIG_NF_TABLES_NETDEV and CONFIG_NFT_FWD_NETDEV.

I don't understand how a netfilter config options is going to make that
generic ipv4 protocol per-device sysctl appear.

If it's unrelated to your change, don't include it in the commit message
as it is confusing.

Thank you.
