The sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure belongs to fs/dcache.c, move it to
its own file from kernel/sysctl.c. As a part of fs/dcache.c cleaning,
sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is changed to a static variable, and export
vfs_pressure_ratio with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to be used by other files.
And move the unneeded include(linux/dcache.h).

This was a static inline, but AFAICT it's only called through
alloc_super() which is hardly "fast path". If this series gets another
version it may be worth calling out this inline->out-of-line change in
the commit log.

I don't think it's a blocker, but I'm not a VFS maintainer. :)
