[PATCH] sysctl: Kill binary sysctl KERN_PPC_L2CR

Subject: ppc: 4xx: sysctl table check failed: /kernel/l2cr .1.31 Missing strategy

I'm seeing this error message when booting an recent arch/ppc kernel on
4xx platforms (tested on Ocotea and other 4xx platforms). Booting NFS
rootfs still works fine, but this message kind of makes me "nervous".
This is not seen on 4xx arch/powerpc platforms. Here the bootlog:
Because the data field was never filled and a binary sysctl handler
was never written this sysctl has never been usable through the
sys_sysctl interface.  So just remove the binary sysctl number.
Making the kernel sanity checks happy.
