Currently, UDP exchange is prone to failure when cmd attempt to send data while socat in bkg is not ready. Since, the behavior is probabilistic, this can result in flakiness for XDP tests. While testing test_xdp_native_tx_mb() on netdevsim, a failure rate of around 1% in 500 500 iterations was observed.
Use wait_port_listen() to ensure that the bkg socat is started and ready to receive before cmd start sending. With proposed changes, a re-run of the same test passed 100% of time.

You are awesome, thank you!
