sysctl: Remove register_sysctl_table

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and
register_sysctl_table. After removing all the calling functions, we
remove both the register_sysctl_table function and the documentation
check that appeared in check-sysctl-docs awk script.

We save 595 bytes with this change:
