  sysctl: remove CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, it just mirrors CONFIG_SYSCTL (2026-08-05 15:28:23 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary

* Documentation

  Fix kernel-doc warnings by adjusting in file documentation.

* Consolidate do_proc_* function into do_proc_vec.

  Consolidate three slightly different implementations of applying a converter
  on all elements of a vector. Fixes to this function now propagate to the three
  types.

* Miscellaneous

  Replaced CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL with CONFIG_SYSCTL (they were the same) and
  restrict cad_pid modifications to global root (GLOBAL_ROOT_UID)

* Testing

  This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in x86_64. And
  went into linux-next around rc2, giving it a bit more than a month of testing.
