[PATCH 4.3 086/157] addrconf: always initialize sysctl table data

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5449a5ca9bc27dd51a462de7ca0b1cd861cd2bd0 ]

When sysctl performs restrict writes, it allows to write from
a middle position of a sysctl file, which requires us to initialize
the table data before calling proc_dostring() for the write case.

Fixes: 3d1bec99320d ("ipv6: introduce secret_stable to ipv6_devconf")
