Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fs/proc: optimize exactly register one ctl_table

Sysctls are being moved out of kernel/sysctl.c and out to
their own respective subsystems / users to help with easier
maintance and avoid merge conflicts. But when we move just
one entry and to its own new file the last entry for this
new file must be empty, so we are essentialy bloating the
kernel one extra empty entry per each newly moved sysctl.

To help with this, this adds support for registering just
one ctl_table, therefore not bloating the kernel when we
move a single ctl_table to its own file.

Please extend the commit log to justify why we have to add
so much code, you mentioned it to me before, now just please
write that in the commit log.

Can you really not add helpers first so that these helpers
are used by both paths?

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] fs/proc: optimize exactly register one ctl_table

Hi Meng,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on mcgrof/sysctl-next]
[also build test WARNING on jack-fs/fsnotify rostedt-trace/for-next linus/master v5.17-rc6 next-20220301]
[cannot apply to kees/for-next/pstore]
[If your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, kindly drop us a note.
And when submitting patch, we suggest to use '--base' as documented in
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch]
