Subject: [PATCH 2/9] fs: move fs stat sysctls to file_table.c

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.

We can create the sysctl dynamically on early init for fs stat
to help with this clutter. This dusts off the fs stat syctls knobs
and puts them into where they are declared.
