linux: mark <6.12 with Rust as broken, assert on <6.7 with Rust

Linux 6.7 is the oldest kernel with Rust support, so the config part
should fail hard if 6.6 or older requests the Rust feature. Until now
this was silently ignored[1].

It turned out that Rust for Linux 6.11 or older fails for unknown
reasons[2]. We decided to not bother since it's not a longterm kernel
and 6.12 seems fine again. As a result, marking this as broken.
