[PATCH v2 2/8] random: move the random sysctl declarations to its own file

[Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>]

From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@huawei.com>

The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves
their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to
places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers
do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own
piece of code, we just care about the core logic.

So move the random sysctls to its own file and use
register_sysctl_init().
