sysctls using the sysctl() syscall are deprecated if I'm

The entire sysctl(2) mechanism is deprecated.
That's why I used CTL_UNNUMBERED here.

But still, if a module_param suffices, I do not see a need for
providing an additional user-visible api via sysctl.
Well, its a bit easier/more flexible to use, especially when not
using modules, and its more in line with the remaining netfilter
controls. So I'm OK with the sysctl.
