Eric W. Biederman da3f6f9b3e sysctl: Introduce a generic compat sysctl sysctl ...

This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various
hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp.

The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.

The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat
sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the
binary sysctl implementation.

ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the
ppcs version here.
