sysctl: Refactor base paths registrations

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and
register_sysctl_table. The old way of doing this through
register_sysctl_base and DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro is replaced with a
call to register_sysctl_init. The 5 base paths affected are: "kernel",
"vm", "debug", "dev" and "fs".

We remove the register_sysctl_base function and the DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE
macro since they are no longer needed.

In order to quickly acertain that the paths did not actually change I
executed `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum` and made sure that the sha was the
same before and after the commit.

We end up saving 563 bytes with this change:
