sysctl: update sysctl_check_table

Browse source

Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a little more I was returning
a few false positives so this patch updates my logic to remove them.

- Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path
  It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface
  and still keep the same sysctl proc interface.

- Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't
  exist.

- Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.
