[patch] sysctl: clean up vm related variable declarations

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Now, there are many "extern" declaration in kernel/sysctl.c. "extern"
declaration in *.c file is not appreciated in general.
And Hmm...it seems there are a few redundant declarations.

Because most of sysctl variables are defined in its own header file,
they should be declared in the same style, be done in its own *.h file.

This patch removes some VM(memory management) related sysctl's
variable declaration from kernel/sysctl.c and move them to
proper places.
