Subject: [PATCH net] mpls: handle device renames for per-device sysctls

If a device is renamed and the original name is subsequently reused
for a new device, the following warning is generated:

sysctl duplicate entry: /net/mpls/conf/veth0//input

Fix this by unregistering the previous sysctl table (registered for
the path containing the original device name) and re-registering the
table for the path containing the new device name.
