patch dropping the bad #include

Building the plugin fails with:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnux32/bits/sysctl.h:19:3: error: #error "sysctl
system call is unsupported in x32 kernel"

This include is useless and can be removed.  This syscall has been strongly
deprecated for ages and the plugin doesn't use it any more.  On old
architectures, this include is benign as long as it's unused, on new ones (such
as x32) it results in a build failure.

Trivial patch attached.
