Subject: aio: move aio sysctl to aio.c
The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just
care about the core logic.
Move aio sysctl to aio.c and use the new register_sysctl_init() to
register the sysctl interface for aio.
[mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx: adjust commit log to justify the move]
