PATCH 2/3 Unify and cleanup calls to addrconf_sysctl_register

Currently this call is (ab)used similar to devinet one - it registers sysctls for devices and for the "default" confs, while the "all" sysctls are registered separately. But unlike its devinet brother, the passed inet6_device is needed.

The fix is to make a __addrconf_sysctl_register(), which registers sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :)

The original addrconf_sysctl_register() calls the introduced function, passing the inet6_device, device name and ifindex (to be used as procname and ctl_name) into it.

Due to your simplification you no longer need the second argument as it can now be derived from the first as is the case for IPv4.

So let's get rid of that while we're at it.

Thanks,

Thanks to Herbert again for pointing out, that we can shrink the argument list to 1 :)

PATCH 3/3 Use ctl paths to register addrconf sysctls

In reply to Herbert Xu

This looks very much like the patch for ipv4's devinet.

This is also intended to help us with the net namespaces and saves the ipv6.ko size by ~320 bytes.

The difference from the first version is just the patch offsets, that changed due to changes in the patch #2.
