Now that all the dev sysctls have been moved out we can remove the
dev sysctl base directory. We don't need to create base directories,
they are created for you as if using 'mkdir -p' with register_syctl()
and register_sysctl_init(). For details refer to sysctl_mkdir_p()
usage.
We save 90 bytes with this changes:
./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.2.remove-sysctl-table vmlinux.3-remove-dev-table
