Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.25 (resend) 2/3][IPV6] 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. 

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