perf/core: Move perf_event sysctls into kernel/events

Move ctl tables to two files:

 - perf_event_{paranoid,mlock_kb,max_sample_rate} and
   perf_cpu_time_max_percent into kernel/events/core.c

 - perf_event_max_{stack,context_per_stack} into
   kernel/events/callchain.c

Make static variables and functions that are fully contained in core.c
and callchain.cand remove them from include/linux/perf_event.h.
Additionally six_hundred_forty_kb is moved to callchain.c.

Two new sysctl tables are added ({callchain,events_core}_sysctl_table)
with their respective sysctl registration functions.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kerenel/sysctl.c.
