sysctl: Factor out sysctl_data.
There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except
for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have
seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of
sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential
for extra bugs.
So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric
I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a
function everyone can use.
Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly
formed sysctl tables much easier.
