sysctl: update comments to new registration APIs

The sysctl registration APIs do not need a terminating table entry
anymore and with commit acc154691fc7 ("sysctl: Warn on an empty procname
element") even emit warnings if such a sentinel entry is supplied.

While at it also remove the mention of "table->de" which was removed in
commit 3fbfa98112fc ("[PATCH] sysctl: remove the proc_dir_entry member
for the sysctl tables") back in 2007.

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
adjusted.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
proc_handler migration.

sysctl: move sysctl type to ctl_table_header

Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from
ctl_table to ctl_table_header.
Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances
of struct ctl_table.

Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into
init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized.

As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced.
Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances
and is only allocated when the table is actually registered.
This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum
field itself and 4 due to padding.

ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays.

We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not
change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the
table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table

We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table

be passed by the callers to the sysctl register infrastructure. And
while this commit introduces the variable, it does not set nor use it
because that requires case by case considerations for each caller.

It provides two important things: (1) A place to put the
result of the ctl_table array calculation when it gets introduced for
each caller. And (2) the size that will be used as the additional
stopping criteria in the list_for_each_table_entry macro (to be added
when all the callers are migrated)

sysctl: replace child with an enumeration

This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".

What changed?:
* Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the
default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero
so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local
context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the
new enum with kdoc.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and

register_sysctl_base and DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro is replaced with a
call to register_sysctl_init. The 5 base paths affected are: "kernel",
"vm", "debug", "dev" and "fs".

We remove the register_sysctl_base function and the DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE
macro since they are no longer needed.

In order to quickly acertain that the paths did not actually change I
executed `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum` and made sure that the sha was the
same before and after the commit.

sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()

The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().

The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.

The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:

static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };

Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.

This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: improve hugetlb_vmemmap code readability

There is a discussion about the name of hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free in
thread [1]. The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to
"optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize"
means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means
restoring its vmemmap pages discared before. This commit does this.

Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used
explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in
hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free. David suggested we can compute what
hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime. We do not need to worry for
the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple
enough and those functions are not in a hot path. This commit has the
following improvements:

1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive.
2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore.
4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed.
5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct
page)) instead of two places.
6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for
detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally.
In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it. The name is more
expressive.
