Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.25 3/3][IPV4] Use ctl paths to register devinet sysctls

This looks very much like the patch for neighbors.

The path is also located on the stack and is prepared
inside the function. This time, the call to the registering
function is guarded with the RTNL lock, but I decided
to keep it on the stack not to litter the devinet.c file
with unneeded names and to make it look similar to the
neighbors code.

This is also intended to help us with the net namespaces
and saves the vmlinux size as well - this time by more 
than 670 bytes.
