Because, after introduced net namespace, we can use net->ipv6.frags to 
manage IPv6 conntrack fragment queue instead of nf_init_frags. 
And sysctls of ip6frag_low_thresh, ip6frag_time and ip6frag_high_thresh 
also can control IPv6 conntrack fragment queue.

So, private member of nf_init_frags becomes redundant, and remove these sysctls.
