sysctl: Avoid calling priv_check() unnecessarily
After commit 7d1d9cc440f80 we only serialize large sysctl requests for non-root users, but we should avoid calling priv_check() unless the request actually is large, as that's not the common case. In particular, priv_check() might not be cheap to evaluate if MAC hooks are installed. Reviewed by: olce, kib MFC after: 2 weeks Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55377
