sysctl: Remove dead code from sysctl_check 

Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around
/proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it
to a few remaining sanity checks.  This completely decouples
it from the binary sysctl system call.

Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already
been registered are all that remain.
