Subject: [PATCH 20/24] sysctl: ipv6: register /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf empty directory

This does not change any semantics: it just adds a new header that
will be used in the next patch as a parent for all headers for
all /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/DEVNAME entries.

For now, all interface headers for /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/DEVNAME
will be bound to this header as opposed to another one from above, but
this shouldn't affect performance or behaviour.
