The address generation mode for IPv6 link-local can only be configured
by netlink messages. This patch adds the ability to change the address
generation mode via sysctl.
An possible improvement is to remove the addrgenmode variable from the
idev structure and use the systcl storage for the flag.
The patch is based from v4.9-rc7 in mainline.
