device: increase IPv6LL DAD timeout (rh #1101809)

Depending on the network and the values of the 'dad_transmits' and
'retrans_timeout_ms' sysctls, DAD for the IPv6LL address can take
quite a while.  Obviously there must be some upper bound on the
timeout, but 5 seconds seems a bit low.  In this case it was observed
to be ~12 seconds but the sysctl values are unknown.  In any case,
we can't predict the network/config so being a bit more lenient here
makes sense.
