Approach

What is the motivation for this PR?

When using Chrony as the NTP daemon on the DUT, Chrony will not use NTP sources that have a root dispersion of more than 3 seconds (configurable via /etc/chrony/chrony.conf, but we currently don't touch that setting).

How did you do it?

Block here until the root dispersion is less than 3 seconds so that we don't incorrectly fail the test.

How did you verify/test it?

Any platform specific information?

Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
