test_sysctl.c is expected to be used as a module, but since
it does not use module_init(), it never be registered as
a module and not appeared under /sys/module/.
In the result, the selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh always fails
to find the test module and is skipped.

This makes test_sysctl.c initialized as a module by module_init()
and allow sysctl.sh to find the test module is loaded.

This is the only part I think we need to double check. As a non-module,
module_init() becomes device_initcall() not late_initcall().

I don't see any notes in the commit log for the original driver that
mention why this needs to be late_initcall(), though, so I *think* it's
safe. Luis?
