That's already handled by storing new_val into ctl->data at the end of
the 'write' block.
BTW, I'd like to make ipv6_devconf and ipv6_devconf_dflt read-only, so
that people aren't tempted to update the template, but I'm thinking of
doing that in net-next rather than net.

I thought about it, and wasn't sure if that change of behavior was
acceptable, especially for stable (I think the current patch should go
into stable). OTOH, it's quite clearly what "all" should do.
