After the removal of CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, several #ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL
blocks ended up nested inside the outer (now the same) CONFIG_SYSCTL
guards.
Collapse them and remove a now-stale "/proc/sys support" comment which
referred to CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL.

Now that CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL is gone, CONFIG_SYSCTL depends on
CONFIG_PROC_FS directly in fs/proc/Kconfig, so the double guard
defined(CONFIG_SYSCTL) && defined(CONFIG_PROC_FS) is redundant.
Simplify to "#ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL".
