Hi, Jakub
My patch is a little radical. I just saw Eric's previous reply to
Alexander(https://lore.kernel.org/all/87pmsqyuqy.fsf@disp2133/).
These were disabled because out of an abundance of caution.

My original intention is to enable part of syscyls about neighbor which
I think was safe, but I will try to figure out which of these sysctls
are safe to be enabled.
