[PATCH main-v4.9-rc7] net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode

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.
