Subject: [v2 071/115] sysctl: rename (un)use_table to __sysctl_(un)use_header

The former names were not semantically correct, as the use/unuse was
related to the header, not the table. Also this makes it clearer that
sysctl_use_header and __sysctl_use_header are related (one takes the
spin lock inside and the other doesn't).
