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.
