Patch series "sysctl: second set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.
This is the 2nd set of kernel/sysctl.c cleanups. The diff stat should
reflect how this is a much better way to deal with theses. Fortunately
coccinelle can be used to ensure correctness for most of these and/or
future merge conflicts.
Note that since this is part of a larger effort to cleanup
kernel/sysctl.c I think we have no other option but to go with merging
these patches in either Andrew's tree or keep them staged in a separate
tree and send a merge request later. Otherwise kernel/sysctl.c will end
up becoming a sore spot for the next merge window.
This patch (of 8):
There is no need to user boiler plate code to specify a set of base
directories we're going to stuff sysctls under. Simplify this by using
register_sysctl() and specifying the directory path directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
