sysctl: fix compatibility with procps sysctl

Busybox sysctl is incompatible with procps when '.' appears in
directory name, mostly happens with VLANs.

        busybox syntax (since 2008): net.ipv4.conf.eth0.100.mc_forwarding
         procps syntax (since 2002): net.ipv4.conf.eth0/100.mc_forwarding
                 (supported by both: net/ipv4/conf/eth0.100/mc_forwarding)

Use procps syntax for output; for input, allow both.
