sysctl: Move the implementation into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c

Move the core sysctl code from kernel/sysctl.c and kernel/sysctl_check.c
into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.

Currently sysctl maintenance is hampered by the sysctl implementation
being split across 3 files with artificial layering between them.
Consolidate the entire sysctl implementation into 1 file so that
it is easier to see what is going on and hopefully allowing for
simpler maintenance.

For functions that are now only used in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c remove
their declarations from sysctl.h and make them static in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c

+ *
+ * mode - the file permissions for the /proc/sys file, and for sysctl(2)
+ *
+ * child - a pointer to the child sysctl table if this entry is a directory, or
+ *         %NULL.

+ * sysctl(2) can automatically manage read and write requests through

- * __register_sysctl_paths - register a sysctl hierarchy
- * @root: List of sysctl headers to register on
- * @namespaces: Data to compute which lists of sysctl entries are visible
- * @path: The path to the directory the sysctl table is in.
- * @table: the top-level table structure
- *
- * Register a sysctl table hierarchy. @table should be a filled in ctl_table
- * array. A completely 0 filled entry terminates the table.
- *
- * The members of the &struct ctl_table structure are used as follows:
- *
- * procname - the name of the sysctl file under /proc/sys. Set to %NULL to not
- *            enter a sysctl file
- *
- * data - a pointer to data for use by proc_handler
- *
- * maxlen - the maximum size in bytes of the data
- *
- * mode - the file permissions for the /proc/sys file, and for sysctl(2)
- *
- * child - a pointer to the child sysctl table if this entry is a directory, or
- *         %NULL.
- *
- * proc_handler - the text handler routine (described below)
- *
- * de - for internal use by the sysctl routines
- *
- * extra1, extra2 - extra pointers usable by the proc handler routines
- *
- * Leaf nodes in the sysctl tree will be represented by a single file
- * under /proc; non-leaf nodes will be represented by directories.
- *
- * sysctl(2) can automatically manage read and write requests through
- * the sysctl table.  The data and maxlen fields of the ctl_table
- * struct enable minimal validation of the values being written to be
- * performed, and the mode field allows minimal authentication.
- *
- * There must be a proc_handler routine for any terminal nodes
- * mirrored under /proc/sys (non-terminals are handled by a built-in
- * directory handler).  Several default handlers are available to
- * cover common cases -
- *
- * proc_dostring(), proc_dointvec(), proc_dointvec_jiffies(),
- * proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies(), proc_dointvec_minmax(), 
- * proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax(), proc_doulongvec_minmax()
- *
- * It is the handler's job to read the input buffer from user memory
- * and process it. The handler should return 0 on success.
- *
- * This routine returns %NULL on a failure to register, and a pointer
- * to the table header on success.
