Subject: [PATCH 4.18 049/168] selftests: pmtu: detect correct binary to ping ipv6 addresses

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

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

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@...asysnail.net>

[ Upstream commit c81c7012e0c769b5704c2b07bd5224965e76fb70 ]

Some systems don't have the ping6 binary anymore, and use ping for
everything. Detect the absence of ping6 and try to use ping instead.
