This is the 2nd set of kernel/sysctl.c cleanups. The diff stat should
reflect how this is a much better way to deal with theses. Fortunately
coccinelle can be used to ensure correctness for most of these and/or
future merge conflicts.
Note that since this is part of a larger effort to cleanup
kernel/sysctl.c I think we have no other option but to go with
merging these patches in either Andrew's tree or keep them staged
in a separate tree and send a merge request later. Otherwise
kernel/sysctl.c will end up becoming a sore spot for the next
merge window.
Changes in this v2:
* As suggested by Eric W. Biederman I dropped the subdir new call
and just used the register_sysctl() by specifying the parent
directory.
* 0-day cleanups, commit log enhancements
* Updated the coccinelle patch with register_sysctl()
