[PATCH 2/3] Sysctl: clean from unneeded extern and forward declarations

From: Pavel Emelyanov
Date: Wed Feb 27 2008 - 08:52:18 EST


The do_sysctl_strategy isn't used outside kernel/sysctl.c, so
this can be static and without a prototype in header.

Besides, move this one and parse_table() above their callers and
drop the forward declarations of the latter call.

One more "besides" - fix two checkpatch warnings: space before
a ( and an extra space at the end of a line.
