Luis Chamberlain ee9efac48a sysctl: add helper to register a sysctl mount point
The way to create a subdirectory on top of sysctl_mount_point is a bit
obscure, and *why* we do that even so more.  Provide a helper which
makes it clear why we do this.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: export register_sysctl_mount_point() to
modules]
