fabtests/pytest/efa: Only check server tx_bytes in device selection non dgram test

The test is asserting that both server and client tx_bytes counters
progressed after running fi_dgram_pingpong. Since UD is unreliable, if
the first ping is dropped, no pong is received and the server counters
won't progress, causing spurious failures.

Only check server tx_bytes for non dgram iterations, since the client
initiates the ping and its tx counter must progress if the EFA dgram
endpoint was picked up. For rdm iterations, both counters are still
verified since the transport is reliable.
