sysctl: Refactor the binary sysctl handling to remove duplicate code
Read in the binary sysctl path once, instead of reread it from user space each time the code needs to access a path element. The deprecated sysctl warning is moved to do_sysctl so that the compat_sysctl entries syscalls will also warn. The return of -ENOSYS when !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is moved to binary_sysctl. Always leaving a do_sysctl available that handles !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and printing the deprecated sysctl warning allows for a single defitition of the sysctl syscall. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
