[PATCH|RFC] IPv6: Equal behavior in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and addrconf_sysctl_forward_strategy()

[Ville Nuorvala <vnuorval@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

is there any reason for _forward() to call rt6_purge_dflt_routers(), but
_forward_strategy() not do the same?

If no, the patch below should fix this.

Thanks,
Ville
