[PATCH v5 7/9] test_sysctl: Add ctl_table registration failure test

[Waiman Long]

Incorrect sysctl tables are constructed and fed to the
register_sysctl_table() function in the test_sysctl kernel module.
The function is supposed to fail the registration of those tables or
an error will be printed if no failure is returned.

The registration failures will cause other warning and error messages
to be printed into the dmesg log, though.

A new test is also added to the sysctl.sh to look for those failure
messages in the dmesg log to see if anything unexpeced happens.
