[PATCH] netifd: Do not set disable_ipv6=0 in system_if_clear_state()

When not configuring anything ipv6-related within uci and disabling
ipv6 by default for all interfaces with sysctl
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 some interfaces still get ipv6 turned
on due to system_set_disable_ipv6(dev, "0") at the end of
system_if_clear_state().

The line containing this call is a remnant of these two commits:
53f8ed2c 19/10/2011 [1] disable ipv6 for bridge member interfaces
98ca6746 07/04/2014 [2] netifd: Add interface config support to
enable/disable IPv6 in the kernel per device

In 53f8ed2c ipv6 is disabled for bridge members and enabled for all
ohter interfaces by adding calls to system_set_disable_ipv6() in
system_bridge_addif(), system_bridge_delif() and
system_if_clear_state().

In 98ca6746 the logic is reworked so that ipv6 can be optionally
configured per interface and ipv6 gets disabled by default for bridge
members in bridge_enable_member(). The calls to
system_set_disable_ipv6() are removed from system_bridge_addif() and
system_bridge_delif(). However, the line in system_if_clear_state() is
forgotten here and remains, having the effect that each interface will
have disable_ipv6=0 set.

Fix this by removing the remnant line.
