From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: sysctl: fix duplicate path separator in printed entries sysctl_print_dir() always terminates the printed path name with a slash, so printing a slash before the file part causes a duplicate like in sysctl duplicate entry: /kernel//perf_user_access Fix this by dropping the extra slash.
