Subject: [PATCH 21/24] sysctl: ipv6: register addrconf tables as private children

This halves the time it takes to add an interface:

$ time modprobe dummy numdummies=$n

Without this patch:
 - n=5000 => real:  9:14m, sys: 8:46m
 - n=2000 => real:  1:19m, sys: 1:17m
 - n=1000 => real:  0:14m, sys: 0:14m

With this patch:
 - n=5000 => real:  4:43m, sys: 4:32m
 - n=2000 => real:  0:39m, sys: 0:39m
 - n=1000 => real:  0:07m, sys: 0:07m
