[RFC 0/1] Add sysctl entry for controlling crash_kexec_post_notifiers

[Alejandro Jimenez <alejandro.j.jimenez@oracle.com>]

I noticed that in contrast to other kernel core parameters (e.g. kernel.panic,
kernel.panic_on_warn, kernel.panic_print) crash_kexec_post_notifiers is not
available as a sysctl tunable. I am aware that because it is a kernel core
parameter, there is already an entry under:

  /sys/module/kernel/parameters/crash_kexec_post_notifiers

and that allows us to read/modify it at runtime. However, I thought it should
also be available via sysctl, since users that want to read/set this value at
runtime might look there first.

I believe there is an ongoing effort to clean up kernel/sysctl.c, but it wasn't
clear to me if this entry (and perhaps the other panic related entries too)
should be placed on kernel/panic.c. I wanted to verify first that this change
would be welcomed before doing additional refactoring work.

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Thank you,
Alejandro
