Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating
sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs
the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are
no more sysctl tables registered that need them.

Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending
on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister
ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order
wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables.

Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries
can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache.

Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated
directories.

The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are
removed as they are no longer needed.

The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of
the sysctl code.  ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the
existing users have been updated.

Replace sysctl_head_next with first_entry and next_entry.  These new
iterators operate at the level of sysctl table entries and filter
out any sysctl tables that should not be shown.

Utilizing two specialized functions instead of a single function removes
conditionals for handling awkward special cases that only come up
at the beginning of iteration, making the iterators easier to read
and understand.

Replace the helpers that proc_sys_lookup uses with helpers that work
in terms of an entire sysctl directory.  This is worse for sysctl_lock
hold times but it is much better for code clarity and the code cleanups
to come.

find_in_table is no longer needed so it is removed.

find_entry a general helper to find entries in a directory is added.

- Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables

- Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check.
  * Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee
    we never add duplicate names.
  * Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the
    number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the
    number of entries in the directory before we got there.

- Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call
  it directtly from __register_sysctl_table

- Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough
  the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config
  option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename
  to binary sysctl mapping.  That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl
  translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code.

- Tighten up the permission checks.  Guarnateeing that files only have read
  or write permissions.

- Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has
  a procname.

- Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from
  any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by
  a memmory allocation failure.  The backtrace allows us to track
  down who erroneously registered a sysctl table.

Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=y):
    make-dummies 0 999 -> 12s
    rmmod dummy        -> 0.08s

    make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.7s

Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have
arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files
into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files.

Graphically:

   register('dir', { + file-a
                     + file-b
                     + subdir1
                       + file-c
                     + subdir2
                       + file-d
                       + file-e })

is transformed into:
   wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b})
   wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c})
   wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e})
   return wrapper

This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple
ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL).

Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to
__register_sysctl_table whenever possible.

This change is derived from a similar patch written
by Lucrian Grijincu.

For any component of table passed to __register_sysctl_paths
that actually serves as a path, add that to the cstring path
that is passed to __register_sysctl_table.

The result is that for most calls to __register_sysctl_paths
we only pass a table to __register_sysctl_table that contains
no child directories.

Make __register_sysctl_table the core sysctl registration operation and
make it take a char * string as path.

Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards
compatibility in kernel/binary_sysctl.c where they can be safely
ignored there is no longer a need to use struct ctl_path to represent
path names when registering ctl_tables.

Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent
pathnames when registering sysctl tables.  Normal strings are easier
to deal with both in the internal sysctl implementation and for
programmers registering sysctl tables.

__register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper
that converts a ctl_path array into a normal char * string.

Creating local copies of directory names is a good idea for
two reasons.
- The dynamic names used by callers must be copied into new
  strings by the callers today to ensure the strings do not
  change between register and unregister of the sysctl table.

- Sysctl directories have a potentially different lifetime
  than the time between register and unregister of any
  particular sysctl table.

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.
