[PATCH -next] net/ipv4/sysctl_net_ipv4.c: remove superfluous header files from sysctl_net_ipv4.c

sysctl_net_ipv4.c hasn't use any macro or function declared in mm.h, module.h,
igmp.h, inetdevice.h, swap.h, slab.h, nsproxy.h, snmp.h, route.h and inet_frag.h. 
Thus, these files can be removed from sysctl_net_ipv4.c safely without affecting
the compilation of the net module.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? It certainly uses linux/slab.h
as it calls kmalloc(). Please don't introduce dependencies on
second-order includes. If file uses a function, define, struct etc.
from a header it should directly include that header. Just because the
code still compiles doesn't mean the change is for good.
