Felix Jia d35a00b8e3 net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode
The address generation mode for IPv6 link-local can only be configured
by netlink messages. This patch adds the ability to change the address
generation mode via sysctl.

v1 -> v2
Removed the rtnl lock and switch to use RCU lock to iterate through
the netdev list.

v2 -> v3
Removed the addrgenmode variable from the idev structure and use the
systcl storage for the flag.

Simplifed the logic for sysctl handling by removing the supported
for all operation.

Added support for more types of tunnel interfaces for link-local
address generation.

Based the patches from net-next.

v3 -> v4
Removed unnecessary whitespace changes.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
