[PATCH v2 6/8] inotify: simplify subdirectory registration with register_sysctl()

[Luis Chamberlain]

From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming at huawei.com>

There is no need to user boiler plate code to specify a set of base
directories we're going to stuff sysctls under. Simplify this by using
register_sysctl() and specifying the directory path directly.

Move inotify_user sysctl to inotify_user.c while at it to remove clutter
from kernel/sysctl.c.
