"""Sets sysctl values and writes a file that restores them.

The arguments are of the form "<proc-file>=<val>" separated by spaces.
The program first reads the current value of the proc-file and creates
a shell script named "/tmp/sysctl_restore_${PACKETDRILL_PID}.sh" which
restores the values when executed. It then sets the new values.

PACKETDRILL_PID is set by packetdrill to the pid of itself, so a .pkt
file could restore sysctls by running `/tmp/sysctl_restore_${PPID}.sh`
at the end.
