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.
