sysctl: move umh sysctl registration to its own file

Move the umh sysctl registration to its own file, the array is already there. We do this to remove the clutter out of kernel/sysctl.c to avoid merge conflicts. This also lets the sysctls not be built at all now when CONFIG_SYSCTL is not enabled. This has a small penalty of 23 bytes but soon we'll be removing all the empty entries on sysctl arrays so just do this cleanup now: ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.base vmlinux.1 add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 49/-26 (23) Function old new delta init_umh_sysctls - 33 +33 __pfx_init_umh_sysctls - 16 +16 sysctl_init_bases 111 85 -26 Total: Before=21256914, After=21256937, chg +0.00% Acked-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <[email protected]>
