Public bug reported:
As described in the sysctl man page, /etc/sysctl.conf should be loaded
by running 'sysctl --system':
--system
Load settings from all system configuration files.
/run/sysctl.d/*.conf
/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
This patch seems to have broken that, by loading it only in the case of
an *error* from stat() on /etc/sysctl.conf, rather than success.
