[08/14] sysctl: Add size to register_net_sysctl function

Commit Message

Joel Granados July 26, 2023, 2:06 p.m. UTC

This is part of the effort to remove the sentinel (last empty) element
from the ctl_table arrays.

We create a new function register_net_sysctl_sz with an extra size
argument. A macro replaces the existing register_net_sysctl. For now,
the size passed by the macro is SIZE_MAX (will eventually be ARRAY_SIZE)
to avoid compilation warnings from pointers to ctl_table arrays instead
of the arrays themselves.

Care is also taken to add table_size to the stopping criteria in such a
way that when we remove the empty sentinel element, it will continue
stopping in the last element of the ctl_table array
