[PATCH] sysctl: factor out sysctl_head_next from do_sysctl
The current logic to walk through the list of sysctl table headers is slightly
painful and implement in a way it cannot be used by code outside sysctl.c
I am in the process of implementing a version of the sysctl proc support that
instead of using the proc generic non-caching monster, just uses the existing
sysctl data structure as backing store for building the dcache entries and for
doing directory reads. To use the existing data structures however I need a
way to get at them.
