[PATCH net-next] net: sysctl: cleanup net_sysctl_init()

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Wed Jan 06 2021 - 15:41:35 EST


'net_header' is not used outside of this function, so can be moved
from BSS onto the stack.
Declarations of one-element arrays are discouraged, and there's no
need to store 'empty' in BSS. Simply allocate it from heap at init.
