[v2,02/14] sysctl: Use ctl_table_header in list_for_each_table_entry

Commit Message

Joel Granados July 31, 2023, 7:17 a.m. UTC

We replace the ctl_table with the ctl_table_header pointer in
list_for_each_table_entry which is the macro responsible for traversing
the ctl_table arrays. This is a preparation commit that will make it
easier to add the ctl_table array size (that will be added to
ctl_table_header in subsequent commits) to the already existing loop
logic based on empty ctl_table elements (so called sentinels).
