This does not make sense, and it causes a build error when CONFIG_FS_VERITY=y
and CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES=n.

I think all you need to do is delete the sentinel element, the same as
everywhere else.  I just tested it, and it works fine.

BTW, the comments for register_sysctl_sz() and __register_sysctl_table() are
outdated, as they still say "A completely 0 filled entry terminates the table."
