Great cleanup Christoph!

This user pointer in proc_handler complicated sysctl BPF hook
implementation quite a lot in the past and I was not brave enough to
convert it to kernel pointer across the whole code base :)

Though it breaks tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl.c. I spent some
time debugging and found a couple of problems -- see below. But there is
something else .. Still I figured it's a good idea to give an early
heads-up.

cur_val is allocated separately below to read current value of sysctl
and not interfere with user-passed buffer.

This call reads current value of sysclt into cur_val buffer.

Since you made cur_val point to kernel copy of user-passed buffer, this
call will always override whatever is there in that kernel copy.

For example, if user is writing to sysclt, then *buf is a pointer to new
value, but this call will override this new value and, corresondingly
new value will be lost.

I think cur_val should still be allocated separately.

This should be *buf, not buf. A typo I guess?

I applied the whole patchset to bpf-next tree and run selftests. This
patch breaks 4 of them:

% cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
% ./test_sysctl
...
Test case: sysctl_get_new_value sysctl:write ok .. [FAIL]
Test case: sysctl_get_new_value sysctl:write ok long .. [FAIL]
Test case: sysctl_get_new_value sysctl:write E2BIG .. [FAIL]
Test case: sysctl_set_new_value sysctl:read EINVAL .. [PASS]
Test case: sysctl_set_new_value sysctl:write ok .. [FAIL]
...
Summary: 36 PASSED, 4 FAILED

I applied both changes I suggested above and it reduces number of broken
selftests to one:

Test case: sysctl_set_new_value sysctl:write ok .. [FAIL]

I haven't debugged this last one though yet ..

All these tests are available in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl.c.

I think it's a good idea to run these tests locally before sending the
next version of the patch set.
