[PATCH 83/89] timers: Remove the <linux/sysctl.h> include from <linux/timer.h>

Show all headers | View raw

So we want to simplify <linux/sched.h>'s header dependencies, but one
roadblock of that is <linux/timer.h>'s inclusion of sysctl.h,
which brings in other, problematic headers.

Note that timer.h's inclusion of sysctl.h can be avoided if we
pre-declare ctl_table - so do that.

Also update usage sites that depended on the inclusion of sysctl.h
(or one of the headers included by sysctl.h).
