[PATCH 09/15] char-misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array

From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Sep 28 2023 - 09:21:06 EST


From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)

Remove sentinel from impi_table and random_table
