These commits remove the sentinel element (last empty element) from the
sysctl arrays of all the files under the "net/" directory that register
a sysctl array. The merging of the preparation patches [4] to mainline
allows us to just remove sentinel elements without changing behavior.
This is safe because the sysctl registration code (register_sysctl() and
friends) use the array size in addition to checking for a sentinel [1].
Thanks, but please resend after the merge window, we don't apply
code to -next until -rc1 is cut.
