sysctl: Factor out sysctl_data. 

There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except
for returning 0.  Which is not always what we want.  The few instances I have
seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of
sysctl_data.  While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential
for extra bugs.

So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric
I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a
function everyone can use.

Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly
formed sysctl tables much easier.
