[PATCH] sanitize proc_sysctl

Browse Source 
* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
  entry if that succeeds
* have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
  that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
  to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
  will reject the wrong ones.
* have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
  walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are
  attached to our directory.
* implement ->getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions
  induced by that.
