sysctl: Initial support for auto-unregistering sysctl tables.
Add nreg to ctl_table_header. When nreg drops to 0 the ctl_table_header will be unregistered. Factor out drop_sysctl_table from unregister_sysctl_table, and add the logic for decrementing nreg. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
