Hm, setting the NOARP flag seems to have not been sufficient to fix the flaky
test:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/13507111620/job/37739614229

I was not able to reproduce it locally or with my own CI runs unfortunately, but
I'll try something else in the next patch version which should definitely stop
IPv6 multicast listener report packets from messing with the tests.
