ipv4: expose IPV4_DEVCONF
IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array
in the netlink information, but the indices in that array are not
exposed to userspace through any current santized header file.
It was available back in 2.6.32 (in /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h)
but was broken by:

net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbers
Eric was solving the sysctl problem but then the indices were re-exposed
by a later addition of devconf support for IPV4

ipv4: AF_INET link address family
Putting them in /usr/include/linux/ip.h seemed the logical match
for the DEVCONF_ definitions for IPV6 in /usr/include/linux/ip6.h
