[PATCH] sysctl: simplify sysctl_uts_string 

The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting
in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your
hostname for example.

This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl
interface.

In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the
binary sysctl interface is imperfect.  In particular KERN_SHMMAX and
KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to
32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel.  However this has existing for a long
time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work.

Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot
yourself in the foot.

Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and
namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace.
I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but
the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it.

This patch:

Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special
cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in.
