[PATCH 6.12 050/116] Revert "gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address generation."

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit fc486c2d060f67d672ddad81724f7c8a4d329570 ]

This reverts commit 183185a18ff96751db52a46ccf93fff3a1f42815.

This patch broke net/forwarding/ip6gre_custom_multipath_hash.sh in some
circumstances (https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/Z9RIyKZDNoka53EO@mini-arch/).
Let's revert it while the problem is being investigated.
