[PATCH] Reduce stack usage in sys.c

[Yum Rayan <yum.rayan@gmail.com>]

Attempt to reduce stack usage in sys.c (linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm3). Stack
usage was noted using checkstack.pl. Specifically

Before patch
------------
sys_reboot - 256

After patch
-----------
sys_reboot - none (register usage only)

Along the way, wrap code to 80 column width and cleanup lock usage.
