[PATCH 1/7] memory: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array
From: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com>

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will
reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory
bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel from all files under mm/ that register a sysctl table.
