Revert "net: ipv6/addrconf: clamp preferred_lft to the minimum required"
The commit had a bug and might not have been the right approach anyway.
Fixes: 629df6701c8a ("net: ipv6/addrconf: clamp preferred_lft to the minimum required")
Fixes: ec575f885e3e ("Documentation: networking: explain what happens if temp_prefered_lft is too small or too large")
