====================
selftests: forwarding: Updates to sysctl handling
Some selftests need to adjust sysctl settings. In order to be neutral to
the system that the test is run on, it is a good practice to change back
to the original setting after the test ends. That involves some
boilerplate that can be abstracted away.
In patch #1, introduce two functions, sysctl_set() and sysctl_restore().
The former stores the current value of a given setting, and sets a new
value. The latter restores the setting to the previously-stored value.
In patch #2, use these wrappers in a number of tests.
Additionally in patch #3, fix a problem in mirror_gre_nh.sh, which
neglected to set a sysctl that's crucial for the test to work.
