migration/rdma: Remove qemu_rdma_broken_ipv6_kernel

I hit following error which testing migration in pure RoCE env:
"-incoming rdma:[::]:8089: RDMA ERROR: You only have RoCE / iWARP devices in your
systems and your management software has specified '[::]', but IPv6 over RoCE /
iWARP is not supported in Linux.#012'."

In our setup, we use rdma bind on ipv6 on target host, while connect from source
with ipv4, remove the qemu_rdma_broken_ipv6_kernel, migration just work
fine.

Checking the git history, the function was added since introducing of
rdma migration, which is more than 10 years ago. linux-rdma has
improved support on RoCE/iWARP for ipv6 over past years. There are a few fixes
back in 2016 seems related to the issue, eg:
aeb76df46d11 ("IB/core: Set routable RoCE gid type for ipv4/ipv6 networks")

other fixes back in 2018, eg:
052eac6eeb56 RDMA/cma: Update RoCE multicast routines to use net namespace
8d20a1f0ecd5 RDMA/cma: Fix rdma_cm raw IB path setting for RoCE
9327c7afdce3 RDMA/cma: Provide a function to set RoCE path record L2 parameters
5c181bda77f4 RDMA/cma: Set default GID type as RoCE when resolving RoCE route
3c7f67d1880d IB/cma: Fix default RoCE type setting
be1d325a3358 IB/core: Set RoCEv2 MGID according to spec
63a5f483af0e IB/cma: Set default gid type to RoCEv2

So remove the outdated function and it's usage.

/*
* As of now, IPv6 over RoCE / iWARP is not supported by linux.
* We will try the next addrinfo struct, and fail if there are
* no other valid addresses to bind against.
*
* If user is listening on '[::]', then we will not have a opened a device
* yet and have no way of verifying if the device is RoCE or not.
*
* In this case, the source VM will throw an error for ALL types of
* connections (both IPv4 and IPv6) if the destination machine does not have
* a regular infiniband network available for use.
*
* The only way to guarantee that an error is thrown for broken kernels is
* for the management software to choose a *specific* interface at bind time
* and validate what time of hardware it is.
*
* Unfortunately, this puts the user in a fix:
*
* If the source VM connects with an IPv4 address without knowing that the
* destination has bound to '[::]' the migration will unconditionally fail
* unless the management software is explicitly listening on the IPv4
* address while using a RoCE-based device.
*
* If the source VM connects with an IPv6 address, then we're OK because we can
* throw an error on the source (and similarly on the destination).
*
* But in mixed environments, this will be broken for a while until it is fixed
* inside linux.
*
* We do provide a *tiny* bit of help in this function: We can list all of the
* devices in the system and check to see if all the devices are RoCE or
* Infiniband.
*
* If we detect that we have a *pure* RoCE environment, then we can safely
* thrown an error even if the management software has specified '[::]' as the
* bind address.
*
* However, if there is are multiple hetergeneous devices, then we cannot make
* this assumption and the user just has to be sure they know what they are
* doing.
*
* Patches are being reviewed on linux-rdma.
