Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
The test output in psock_snd.sh is confusing sometimes. Here is an output example:
  raw csum_off with bad offset (fails)
  ./psock_snd: write: Invalid argument

The first line is the test case description, and the second is the test execution output.
It feels like this test has failed, but it has passed instead.
The "fails" here means this test is expected to fail. But you will have to check the source code to know this fact.

== Fix ==
* 30ae801746ea selftests/net: improve descriptions for XFAIL cases in psock_snd.sh

Change "fails" in the test case description to "expected to fail", so
that the test output can be more understandable.

This test case exists after Bionic, and it can be cherry-picked.

== Regression Potential ==
Low, minor changes for test case description only.
