sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away

Protect code accessing ctl_table by grabbing the header with grab_header()
and after releasing with sysctl_head_finish().  This is needed if poll()
is called in entries created by modules: currently only hostname and
domainname support poll(), but this bug may be triggered when/if modules
use it and if user called poll() in a file that doesn't support it.

Dave Jones reported the following when using a syscall fuzzer while
hibernating/resuming:

RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81233e3e>]  [<ffffffff81233e3e>] proc_sys_poll+0x4e/0x90
RAX: 0000000000000145 RBX: ffff88020cab6940 RCX: 0000000000000000
RDX: ffffffff81233df0 RSI: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RDI: ffff88020cab6940
[ ... ]
Code: 00 48 89 fb 48 89 f1 48 8b 40 30 4c 8b 60 e8 b8 45 01 00 00 49 83

b8 45 01 00 00 48 63 d2 49 39 d5 74 10 8b 06 48 98 48 89

If an entry goes away while we are polling() it, ctl_table may not exist
anymore.
