Commit 163931922220e4cb5effd5af1e105038c2f0ab7a "sysctl mips/lasat: Remove
dead binary sysctl support" obviously wasn't test built ...

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.

The deleted strategy routines here surprise me.  ctl_name was
CTL_UNNUMBERED so they would not have been called at all.

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a
better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the
host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the 
read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove
them.  In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't
do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array
may be needed (name).

LASAT's sysctl interface was broken, it failed a check during boot because
a single entry had a sysctl number and the rest were unnumbered. When I
fixed it I noticed that the whole sysctl file needed a spring clean, it was
using mutexes where it wasn't needed (it's only needed to protect during
writes to the EEPROM), so I moved that stuff out and generally cleaned the
whole thing up.

So now, LASAT's sysctl/proc interface is working again.

Hard to follow who is pointing what to where and why so it's simply getting
in the way of the time code renovation.
