Subject: [PATCH 7/9] fs: move namei sysctls to its own file

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 namei's own sysctl knobs to its own file.

Other than the move we also avoid initializing two static
variables to 0 as this is not needed:

  * sysctl_protected_symlinks
  * sysctl_protected_hardlinks
