Subject: [PATCH 55/59] sysctl: Remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 09:40:00 -0700

From: Eric W. Biederman <[email-masked]> - unquoted

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow
new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries
of the same name.  Which is pain for caching and the proc interface
never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current
users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they
do not register duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding
existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one
uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder.
