Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a
namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem.
Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory
while uts_sem is held.

This is a stray header that is not needed by anything in sched.h,
so remove it.

Update files that relied on the stray inclusion.

This reduces the size of the header dependency graph.

Adding support for poll() in sysctl fs allows userspace to receive
notifications of changes in sysctl entries.  This adds a infrastructure to
allow files in sysctl fs to be pollable and implements it for hostname and
domainname.

<title>kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include &lt;linux/module.h&gt;
  +#include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.
