Remove all the macros that were created to get jiffies out of sysctl.c.
In [1] we leaned a bit too hard on macros to generate the converter
functions needed in jiffies.c, pipe.c and sysctl.c. In this series we
replace the macros with regular functions to help in debugging and to
better align with coding-style.rst. This series has been tested with
sysctl self tests (x86_64) and with 0-day.

A note about checkpatch: It really dislikes the use of -ENOSYS and
unused arguments in the no-op versions of the functions. These are all
false positives IMO as -ENOSYS should be returned to the syscall that is
reading or writing the proc file.

Comments are greatly appreciated
