Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Revert "sysctl: Enable ping(8) inside rootless Podman
containers""
This reverts commit be74f51605b4c7cb74fec3a50cd13b67598a8ac1.
Let's add this again. With the new sysctl "-" thing we can make this
work.
Resolves: #2037807
(cherry picked from commit 0338934f4bcda6a96a5342449ae96b003de3378d)
