[PATCH] removes unused variable from kernel/sysctl.h

[Sukanto Ghosh <sukanto.cse.iitb@gmail.com>]

This patch removes the unused variable 'val' from the
__do_proc_dointvec() function
in kernel/sysctl.h. The integer has been declared and used as 'val =
-val' and there is
no reference to it anywhere.
Although I am this doesn't affects the kernel binary because gcc
removes it, still it
might be confusing for people reading the code.
