sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script:

```

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
  conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
  xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
  adjusted.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
  This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
  another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
  proc_handler migration.
