When the NH group stats tests are currently run on a veth topology, the HW-stats leg of each test is SKIP'ped. But kernel networking CI interprets skips as a sign that tooling is missing, and prompts maintainer investigation. Lack of capability to pass a test should be expressed as XFAIL. Selftests that require HW should normally be put in drivers/net/hw, but doing so for the NH counter selftests would just lead to a lot of duplicity. So instead, introduce a helper, xfail_on_veth(), which can be used to mark selftests that should XFAIL instead of FAILing when run on a veth topology. On non-veth topology, they don't do anything. Use the helper in the HW-stats part of router_mpath_nh_lib selftest.

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.
