sysctl: Remember the ctl_table we passed to register_sysctl_paths 

By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build
and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler.  This allows
them to just remember the ctl_table_header returned from
register_sysctl_paths from which they can now find the
ctl_table array they need to free.
