Subject: [PATCH] scripts: check-sysctl-docs: adapt to new API

The script expects the old sysctl_register_paths() API which was removed
some time ago. Adapt it to work with the new
sysctl_register()/sysctl_register_sz()/sysctl_register_init() APIs.

In its reference invocation the script won't be able to parse the tables
from ipc/ipc_sysctl.c as they are using dynamically built tables which
are to complex to parse.

Note that the script is already prepared for a potential constification
of the ctl_table structs.
