Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] firmware_loader: move firmware sysctl to its own files

From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@...wei.com>

The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves
their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to
places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers
do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own
piece of code, we just care about the core logic.

So move the firmware configuration sysctl table to the only place
where it is used, and make it clear that if sysctls are disabled
this is not used.
