------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sched debug: clean up the sysctl registration code.
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Use C99 initializers (struct ctl_table may change again)
- We don't need to set ctl_name anywhere to anything besides CTL_UNNUMBERED
- memset after kmalloc isn't needed if we just use kzalloc
- Directories under /proc/sys should always be 0555.
User space programs can not write to them.
