  sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths() (2023-05-02 19:24:16 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
sysctl-6.4-rc1-v2

As mentioned on my first pull request for sysctl-next, for v6.4-rc1
we're very close to being able to deprecating register_sysctl_paths().
I was going to assess the situation after the first week of the merge
window.

That time is now and things are looking good. We only have one stragglers
on the patch which had already an ACK for so I'm picking this up here now and
the last patch is the one that uses an axe. Some careful eyeballing would
be appreciated by others. If this doesn't get properly reviewed I can also
just hold off on this in my tree for the next merge window. Either way is
fine by me.

I have boot tested the last patch and 0-day build completed successfully.
