Move random_table sysctl from kernel/sysctl.c to drivers/char/random.c
and use register_sysctl_subdir() to help remove the clutter out of
kernel/sysctl.c.

No error checking?

It was my mistake, I forgot to add a comment here.
Same as the comment of register_sysctl_init(),
There is almost no failure here during the system initialization phase,
and failure in time does not affect the main function.
