[PATCH] alloc_tag: remove sysctl prefix from mem_profiling boot parameter

[ranxiaokai627]

From: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiaokai@zte.com.cn>

Boot parameters prefixed with "sysctl." are processed separately
during the final stage of system initialization via kernel_init()->
do_sysctl_args(). Since mem_profiling support should be parsed
in early boot stage, it is unsuitable for centralized handling
in do_sysctl_args().
Also, when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is enabled,
the sysctl.vm.mem_profiling entry is not writable and will cause
a warning. To prevent duplicate processing of sysctl.vm.mem_profiling,
rename the boot parameter to "mem_profiling".

 Boot parameter:
-  sysctl.vm.mem_profiling={0|1|never}[,compressed]
+  mem_profiling={0|1|never}[,compressed]
 
   When set to "never", memory allocation profiling overhead is minimized and it
   cannot be enabled at runtime (sysctl becomes read-only).
