[PATCH net-next v6 2/8] net: ipv{6,4}: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

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 sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
* Remove the zeroing out of an array element (to make it look like a
  sentinel) in sysctl_route_net_init And ipv6_route_sysctl_init.
  This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710fe7f9
  ("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size
  to the ctl_table registration.
* Remove extra sentinel element in the declaration of devinet_vars.
* Removed the "-1" in __devinet_sysctl_register, sysctl_route_net_init,
  ipv6_sysctl_net_init and ipv4_sysctl_init_net that adjusted for having
  an extra empty element when looping over ctl_table arrays
* Replace the for loop stop condition in __addrconf_sysctl_register that
  tests for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size
* Removing the unprivileged user check in ipv6_route_sysctl_init is
  safe as it is replaced by calling ipv6_route_sysctl_table_size;
  introduced in commit c899710fe7f9 ("networking: Update to
  register_net_sysctl_sz")
* Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE
