Reintroduce IPv6 reachability probe patch for RPi lost after refactoring (#3389)

* Reintroduce IPv6 reachability probe patch for RPi lost after refactoring

In #3384 we moved the patches around, which results in version-specific
patches not applied for RPi linux-custom build. Copy the missing IPv6
reachability probe patch to the RPi patches directory.

* Only copy IPv6 reachability probe patch to top-level linux patches

Instead of copying the patch to RPi directory and renumbering the
patches, only copy it upper level so it's applied for all linux versions
other than 6.6.31.

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add option to explicitly enable reachability test
Systems which act as host as well as router might prefer the host
behavior. Currently the kernel does not allow to use IPv6 forwarding
globally and at the same time use route reachability probing.
Add a compile time flag to enable route reachability probe in any
case.
