[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] tst_net.sh: Detect IPv6 disabled via sysct

Doesn't this happen also in the unlikely case that CONFIG_IPV6 is not
set?

So maybe "IPv6 disabled on kernel commandline or not compiled in"

I'm not sure why we should use sysctl when this the same as doing

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

Or is there any added value from the sysctl command?
