    sysctl arm: Remove binary sysctl support · 50469619

    Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
    and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.
    
    Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths,
    and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring.
    
    mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with
    .ctl_name set.  The binary sysctl interface has been frozen
    for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent
    probmes with conflicts and lack of testing.   The sysctl_check
    code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way.
    So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of
    adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c.  Going through
    /proc/sys/reboot/warm will still work.
