gnrc_ipv6: fix double-free when pinging TNT loopback address [backport 2024.01]

[MrKevinWeiss]

Backport of #20309

Contribution description

This PR provides a fix for a double-free in gnrc_ipv6.
This occurs because the _safe_fill_ipv6_hdr function already calls gnrc_pktbuf_release. Therefore, calling it again in _send_to_self crashes the devices

Testing procedure

Try pinging to a TNT loopback address. Without this PR, it crashes:
