This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".
What changed?:
* Replace "child" with a u8 "flag" variable and use it to differentiate
between types by refactoring the permanently empty helper functions.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c
