Subject: [PATCH sysctl-next] mm: fix unused variable kernel warning when
 SYSCTL=n

When CONFIG_SYSCTL=n the variable dirty_bytes_min which is just used
as a minimum to a proc handler is not used. So just move this under
the ifdef for CONFIG_SYSCTL.

Fixes: aa779e510219 ("mm: move page-writeback sysctls to their own file")

Andrew, I can this via sysctl-next if that's OK with you.
