Subject: [PATCH sysctl-testing v2] kernel/kexec_core: move kexec_core sysctls into its own file

This move the kernel/kexec_core.c respective sysctls to its own file.

kernel/sysctl.c has grown to an insane mess, We move sysctls to places
where features actually belong to improve the readability and reduce
merge conflicts. At the same time, the proc-sysctl maintainers can easily
care about the core logic other than the sysctl knobs added for some feature.

We already moved all filesystem sysctls out. This patch is part of the effort
to move kexec related sysctls out.

Signed-off-by: yingelin <yingelin@...wei.com>

---
v2:
  1. Add the explanation to commit log to help patch review and subsystem
  maintainers better understand the context/logic behind the migration
  2. Add CONFIG_SYSCTL to to isolate the sysctl
  3. Change subject-prefix of sysctl-next to sysctl-testing

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220223030318.213093-1-yingelin@huawei.com/
  1. Lack more informations in the commit log to help patch review better
  2. Lack isolation of the sysctl
  3. Use subject-prefix of sysctl-next
