This commit adds size to the register_net_sysctl indirection function to
facilitate the removal of the sentinel elements (last empty markers)
from the ctl_table arrays. Though we don't actually remove any sentinels
in this commit, register_net_sysctl* now has the capability of
forwarding table_size for when that happens.
We create a new function register_net_sysctl_sz with an extra size
argument. A macro replaces the existing register_net_sysctl. The size in
the macro is SIZE_MAX instead of ARRAY_SIZE to avoid compilation errors
while we systematically migrate to register_net_sysctl_sz. Will change
to ARRAY_SIZE in subsequent commits.
Care is taken to add table_size to the stopping criteria in such a way
that when we remove the empty sentinel element, it will continue
stopping in the last element of the ctl_table array.
