For any component of table passed to __register_sysctl_paths that actually serves as a path, add that to the cstring path that is passed to __register_sysctl_table. The result is that for most calls to __register_sysctl_paths we only pass a table to __register_sysctl_table that contains no child directories. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
