    net: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array · ce218712
    Joel Granados authored
    This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
    empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
    will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
    memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
    
    * Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
    * Remove the zeroing out of an array element (to make it look like a
      sentinel) in neigh_sysctl_register and lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register
      This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710f
      ("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size
      to the ctl_table registration.
    * Replace the for loop stop condition in sysctl_core_net_init that tests
      for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size
    * Removed the "-1" in mpls_net_init that adjusted for having an extra
      empty element when looping over ctl_table arrays
    * Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE
