Subject: sysctl: fix neighbour table sysctls.
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary
sysctl names for a function that works with proc.
- In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries
at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early.
- In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl
handling behavior.
- In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the
binary path. So we don't the default sysctl strategy routine
on data that is not ready for it.
