    proc_sysctl: update docs for __register_sysctl_table() · 67ff3228

    Update the docs for __register_sysctl_table() to make it clear no child
    entries can be passed. When the child is true these are non-leaf entries
    on the ctl table and sysctl treats these as directories. The point to
    __register_sysctl_table() is to deal only with directories not part of
    the ctl table where thay may riside, to be simple and avoid recursion.
    
    While at it, hint towards using long on extra1 and extra2 later.
