[Devel] [PATCH net-2.6.25 2/3][IPV4] Unify and cleanup calls to devinet_sysctl_register

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Currently this call is used to register sysctls for devices
and for the "default" confs. The "all" sysctls are registered
separately.

Besides, the inet_device is passed to this function, but
it is not needed there at all - just the device name and
ifindex are required.

The fix is to make a __devinet_sysctl_register(), which registers
sysctls for all "devices" we need, including "default" and "all" :)

The original devinet_sysctl_register() works with struct net_device,
not the inet_device, and calls the introduced function, passing 
the device name and ifindex (to be used as procname and ctl_name)
into it.
