net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects

When ipv6 is disabled, net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects is an unknown key.

sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects
error: "net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects" is an unknown key

because of this, the oval sysctl test associated with sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_redirects fails, even when
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
is in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Is the right fix to pull this out of create_sysctl_checks.py and write a more complex test using extend_definition like network_ipv6_limit_requests.xml?
