if IPv6 is not to be used, it's recommended that it be
disabled to reduce the attack surface of the system.

+    Add IPv6 disable option and make it configurable for user to disable IPv6
+    when it's not used, this will descrease the risk of ipv6 attack.
+    Both net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 & net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6
+    will be explicitly set to the default value (0) which is enabled.
