Pull request for series with
subject: S390: Remove now superfluous sentinel elem from ctl_table arrays
version: 3
url: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=789257

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%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

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.

Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The
size is redundant as the initialization sets it. Changed
insn_emulation->sysctl from a 2 element array of struct ctl_table to a
simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl registration as it
is forwarded as a pointer. Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table,
sme_default_vl_table, tagged_addr_sysctl_table and
armv8_pmu_sysctl_table.

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

Remove sentinel element from sld_sysctl and itmt_kern_table. This
removal is safe because register_sysctl_init and register_sysctl
implicitly use the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.

Remove sentinel element from abi_table2. This removal is safe because
register_sysctl implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to checking for
the sentinel.
