Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sysctl: Restore the selinux path based label lookup for sysctls.


This time instead of generating the generating the paths from proc_dir_entries
generate the labels from the names in the sysctl ctl_tables themselves.  This
removes an unnecessary layer of indirection, allows this to work even when
procfs support is not compiled into the kernel, and especially allows it
to work now that ctl_tables no longer have a proc_dir_entry field.

I continue passing "proc" into genfs sid although that is complete nonsense
to allow existing selinux policies to work without modification.
