net: Fix sysctl restarts...

Yuck.  It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting
with the values already changed.  Which unfortunately meant that
the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped
all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change.

I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed
values when we restart the sysctl write.

One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding
on an interface pings were still forwarded.
