In Lightroom 6.1, can I apply the same lens profile correction to a batch of photos instead of enabling it one image at a time? If so, what is the correct way to sync that adjustment across multiple selected images?

Applying the same modification to many images is pretty much the core functionality of LR.
- Select and modify one image to your liking, including lens profile correction.
- Add all images to the selection that should get the same treatment.
- Hit the sync button at the bottom of the basic panel and make sure that the lens profile correction is selected to be synced
Alternatively, there's a little switch to the left of the sync button, which allows you to enable auto-sync. See this image:

The difference between both syncs is that just hitting the sync button will take all the modifications from the "master" image and copy them over. If you change settings later, they will not be synced with the other images. auto-sync keeps the settings in sync as you apply them to all the images selected.

Yes. In Lightroom 6.1, batch-applying lens profile correction is done with Sync or Auto Sync.
- Select one photo and enable/configure Lens Profile Correction the way you want.
- Select the other photos that should receive the same adjustment.
- Click Sync and make sure the lens correction/profile option is included in the sync settings.
That copies the current settings from the active “master” image to the rest of the selected photos.
If you want changes to apply to all selected images as you work, use the small switch next to the Sync button to enable Auto Sync. With Auto Sync on, any adjustment you make—including lens profile correction—will be applied to all currently selected images immediately.
In short: use Sync to copy settings once, or Auto Sync to keep selected images updated live while editing.
