Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
     include/net/ipv6.h
     net/ipv6/icmp.c
     net/ipv6/route.c
...

Here I remove the setting of the procname to NULL for ipv6 sysctl
registers in route.c and I do not replace that assignment anywhere.
This means that we will export sysctls to unprivilged users for ipv6.
I'll correct this in V3.
