[patch net-2.6.25 01/10][NETNS][IPV6] make ipv6_sysctl_register to return a value

[Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: sysctl/ipv6-sysctl-register-return-value.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2035 bytes --]

This patch makes the function ipv6_sysctl_register to return a
value. The af_inet6 init function is now able to handle an error
and catch it from the initialization of the sysctl.
