This is part of the effort to remove the sentinel element from the ctl_table array at register time. We add a size argument to __register_sysctl_init and modify the register_sysctl_init macro to calculate the array size with ARRAY_SIZE. The original callers do not need to be updated as they will go through the new macro.
