sysctl: register only tables of sysctl files
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.
