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.
