From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs: move binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file
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.
This moves the binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file to help remove clutter
from kernel/sysctl.c.
