 	src/sbin/sysctl: sysctl.c
 
 Log Message:
 Apply patch from PR 43587, mostly from martin and kre. When writing a
 sysctl variable using ?= fails with EPERM, don't print an error
 message.
 
 Ideally setting a sysctl to the same value it already has should also
 not fail regardless of permissions, but this would need to be done in
 the kernel.
