[PATCH 11/13] random: simplify sysctl declaration with register_sysctl_subdir()

[Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@xxxxxxxxxx>

Move random_table sysctl from kernel/sysctl.c to drivers/char/random.c
and use register_sysctl_subdir() to help remove the clutter out of
kernel/sysctl.c.
