Luis Chamberlain fde64a409b proc_sysctl: enhance documentation
commit 1dc8689e4c upstream.

Expand documentation to clarify:

  o that paths don't need to exist for the new API callers
  o clarify that we *require* callers to keep the memory of
    the table around during the lifetime of the sysctls
  o annotate routines we are trying to deprecate and later remove
