[RFC PATCH 3/6] sysctl, mod_devicetable: shadow struct ctl_table.procname for file2alias

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

In order to expose a sysctl entry to modpost (file2alias.c, precisely)
we have to shadow 'struct ctl_table' in mod_devicetable.h, as scripts
should not access kernel headers or its types (see file2alias.c).

The required field is '.procname' (basename of '/proc/sys/.../entry').

Since 'struct ctl_table' is annotated for structure randomization and
we need a known offset for '.procname' (remember, no kernel headers),
take it out of the randomized portion (as in, eg, 'struct task_struct').

Of course, add build-time checks for struct size and .procname offset
between both structs. (This has to be done on kernel side; for headers.)

With that in place, use the regular macros in devicetable-offsets.c to
define SIZE_... and OFF_... macros for the shadow struct and the field
of interest.
