This simplifies syctl registration for a few misc filesystems according to our latest preference / guidance [0]. register_sysctl_table() incurs possible recursion and we can avoid that by dealing with flat directories with files in them, and having the subdirectories explicitly named with register_sysctl(). As we phase these callers out we can deprecate / remove register_sysctl_table() eventually. If you're a maintainer feel free to pick up the patch or I'm also happy to take it through sysctl-next if you like. These don't create conflicts so there is no requirement they go throug sysclt-next at all. I can pick up stragglers later.
