Konstantin Khlebnikov d6cffbbe9a proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering
Currently unregistering sysctl table does not prune its dentries.
Stale dentries could slowdown sysctl operations significantly.

For example, command:

 # for i in {1..100000} ; do unshare -n -- sysctl -a &> /dev/null ; done
 creates a millions of stale denties around sysctls of loopback interface:

 # sysctl fs.dentry-state
 fs.dentry-state = 25812579  24724135        45      0       0       0

 All of them have matching names thus lookup have to scan though whole
 hash chain and call d_compare (proc_sys_compare) which checks them
 under system-wide spinlock (sysctl_lock).

 # time sysctl -a > /dev/null
 real    1m12.806s
 user    0m0.016s
 sys     1m12.400s

Currently only memory reclaimer could remove this garbage.
But without significant memory pressure this never happens.

This patch collects sysctl inodes into list on sysctl table header and
prunes all their dentries once that table unregisters.

* set up by the registration and need not be initialised in advance.
*
* sysctl names can be mirrored automatically under /proc/sys. The
* procname supplied controls /proc naming.
*
* The table's mode will be honoured both for sys_sysctl(2) and
* proc-fs access.
*
* Leaf nodes in the sysctl tree will be represented by a single file
* under /proc; non-leaf nodes will be represented by directories. A
* null procname disables /proc mirroring at this node.
*
* sysctl(2) can automatically manage read and write requests through
* the sysctl table. The data and maxlen fields of the ctl_table
* struct enable minimal validation of the values being written to be
* performed, and the mode field allows minimal authentication.
*
* There must be a proc_handler routine for any terminal nodes
* mirrored under /proc/sys (non-terminals are handled by a built-in
* directory handler). Several default handlers are available to
* cover common cases.
