[PATCH] sysctl: move permanently empty flag to ctl_dir

[Thomas Weißschuh]

Simplify the logic by always keeping the permanently_empty flag on the
ctl_dir.
The previous logic kept the flag in the leaf ctl_table and from there
transferred it to the ctl_table from the directory.

This also removes the need to have a mutable ctl_table and will allow
the constification of those structs.
