NAK.

    net: '&' redux
    
    I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
    stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
    will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
    compilation.
    
    So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy
    handler, it was never needed in fact.
