proski 120d309bc3 Fix sysctl support in Linux 2.6.24
Linux 2.6.24 introduces a sysctl checker that disallows using arbitrary
ctl_name values for sysctl entries.  The entries with non-standard
values should set ctl_name to CTL_UNNUMBERED.

On the other hand, using consistent non-zero ctl_name values is required
for older kernels (tested on Linux 2.4.33.3 from Slackware 11).

Thus the solution is to use CTL_UNNUMBERED on Linux 2.6.24+ and the
original values in the older kernels.  Move CTL_AUTO and DEV_ATH to
include/compat.h and define them correspondingly.

When copying sysctl entries, check procname for being non-zero, since
ctl_name is zero (CTL_UNNUMBERED) on Linux 2.6.24 and newer.

For the same reason, don't use ctl_name to distinguish entries in
ath_sysctl_template, use extra2 instead.
