[PATCH 08/11] kernel: pid_namespace: simplify sysctls with register_sysctl()

register_sysctl_paths() is only required if your child (directories)
have entries and pid_namespace does not. So use register_sysctl_init()
instead where we don't care about the return value and use
register_sysctl() where we do.
