    sysctl: Refactor the binary sysctl handling to remove duplicate code · 2830b683
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    Read in the binary sysctl path once, instead of reread it
    from user space each time the code needs to access a path
    element.
    
    The deprecated sysctl warning is moved to do_sysctl so
    that the compat_sysctl entries syscalls will also warn.
    
    The return of -ENOSYS when !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is moved
    to binary_sysctl.  Always leaving a do_sysctl available
    that handles !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and printing the
    deprecated sysctl warning allows for a single defitition
    of the sysctl syscall.
