You add the variable on the nommu side, but not the functions to
handle the sysctl. So things fail to compile on !MMU builds with:

kernel/built-in.o:(.data+0x4e0): undefined reference to
`overcommit_ratio_handler'
kernel/built-in.o:(.data+0x504): undefined reference to
`overcommit_kbytes_handler'

I don't know mm well enough to tell if copying and pasting the code
over verbatim is the right thing to do, or if there's a preferred
other location (that is shared) to move it to?
