sysctl Bug Fixes

Here are a few bugs fixes for the sysctl mechanism. This patch fixes the following things:

• The function in_egroup_p() compares a GID with a UID.
• The binary IDs of /proc/sys/kernel/nfs-root-name and /proc/sys/kernel/nfs-root-addrs were the same.
• /proc/sys/kernel/java-[interpreter|appletviewer] was not created if binfmt_java is compiled as a module. So I made the sysctl registration dynamic as in IPv6.

The patch also fixes a minor prototype warning in the softdog.c file.

It has been successfully tested under linux 2.0.25, 2.1.8 and 2.1.10.
