Message-ID <20230913-jag-sysctl_remove_empty_elem_arch-v2-1-d1bd13a29bae@samsung.com>
From: Joel Granados <[email protected]>

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%[email protected]/)

Remove the sentinel element from appldata_table, s390dbf_table,
topology_ctl_table, cmm_table and page_table_sysctl. Reduced the memory
allocation in appldata_register_ops by 1 effectively removing the
sentinel from ops->ctl_table.

This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use
the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.
