Hello!

I've just upgraded to a recent main and on boot i see:

`sysctl: unknown oid 'vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift' at line 9`

I remember this line in /etc/sysctl.conf for years:

```
#
#  This file is read when going to multi-user and its contents piped thru
#  ``sysctl'' to adjust kernel values.  ``man 5 sysctl.conf'' for details.
#

# Uncomment this to prevent users from seeing information about processes
that
# are being run under another UID.
#security.bsd.see_other_uids=0
vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift=12
```
Do we need to fix it from vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift ->
vfs.zfs.vdev.min_auto_ashift
on /etc/sysctl.conf?

Cheers,
