s390: simplify dynamic sysctl registration for appldata_register_ops

The routine appldata_register_ops() allocates a sysctl table
with 4 entries. The firsts one,   ops->ctl_table[0] is the parent directory
with an empty entry following it, ops->ctl_table[1]. The next entry is
for the ops->name and that is     ops->ctl_table[2]. It needs an empty
entry following that, and that is ops->ctl_table[3]. And so hence the
kcalloc(4, sizeof(struct ctl_table), GFP_KERNEL).

We can simplify this considerably since sysctl_register("foo", table)
can create the parent directory for us if it does not exist. So we
can just remove the first two entries and move back the ops->name to
the first entry, and just use kcalloc(2, ...).
