Sysctl test will fail in some items if the value of /proc/sys/kernel
/sysctrl_writes_strict is 0 as the default value in kernel older than v4.5.

Make this test more robust and compatible with older kernels by checking and
update sysctrl_writes_strict value and restore it when test is done.

This patch failed to apply on linux-kselftest next. Could you please
rebase and send it.
