test_sysctl: add dedicated proc sysctl test driverThe existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two testcases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. Wewant to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for randomsafe production values to poke at, that's just insane!Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port theexisting scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further teststo be added.Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl.The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-nextoutside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted'sand Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] whichis already present upstream.[0] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CA+55aFyhxcvD+q7tp+-yrSFDKfR0mOHgyEAe=f_94aKLsOu0Og@mail.gmail.com[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1495234558.7848.122.camel@linux.intel.comLink: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170630224431.17374-2-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Luis R.
