Remove the obsolete sysctl syscall. It was scheduled

I thought at least older glibc was still using it? Did anyone check
what happens if it sees no sysctl(2)?
It will fall back reading from /proc/sys.
First that's slow (but ok), but that will fail if there is no /proc.
I strongly doubt glibc will work if there is no /proc,
a quick grep shows lots of "/proc" strings in glibc code.
