The sysctls are registered as xfrm_aevent_etime and xfrm_aevent_rseqth
under net.core (net/xfrm/xfrm_sysctl.c). The document calls them
sysctl_xfrm_aevent_etime and sysctl_xfrm_aevent_rseqth; those names
appear nowhere in the code but in a comment in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c and
were never the proc file names.
Use the proc file names.
Fixes: b8a99520f78e ("[XFRM]: Add documentation for async events.")
