selftests: mlxsw: sch_red_core: Send more packets for drop tests



This test works by injecting into a port with a maxed-out queue a couple
packets and checks if a corresponding number of packets were dropped. This
has worked well on Spectrum<4, but on Spectrum-4 it has been noisy. This
is in line with the observation that on Spectrum-4, queue size tends to
fluctuate more. A handful of packets could then still be accepted to the
queue even though it was nominally full just recently.

In order to accommodate this behavior, send many more packets. The buffer
can fit N extra packets, but not N% packets. This therefore allows us to
set wider absolute margins, while actually narrowing them relatively.
