sysctl/sysrq: Remove __sysrq_enabled copy
Many embedded boards have a disconnected TTL level serial which can generate some garbage that can lead to spurious false sysrq detects. Currently, sysrq can be either completely disabled for serial console or always disabled (with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL), since commit 732dbf3a6104 ("serial: do not accept sysrq characters via serial port") At Arista, we have such boards that can generate BREAK and random garbage. While disabling sysrq for serial console would solve the problem with spurious false sysrq triggers, it's also desirable to have a way to enable sysrq back. Having the way to enable sysrq was beneficial to debug lockups with a manual investigation in field and on the other side preventing false sysrq detections. As a preparation to add sysrq_toggle_support() call into uart, remove a private copy of sysrq_enabled from sysctl - it should reflect the actual status of sysrq. Furthermore, the private copy isn't correct already in case sysrq_always_enabled is true. So, remove __sysrq_enabled and use a getter-helper sysrq_mask() to check sysrq_key_op enabled status.
