[dwm][patches][focusonclick] Updated patch for dwm 6.8
Earlier versions of this patch missed the restack call that was
added after 2017-01-04 and later patches, likely unintentionally,
removes it.
Keeping the restack call in there allows for windows to also
raise on click, i.e. avoiding an additional MOD+click to raise
floating windows.
