[PATCH 01/11] sysctl: Prefer ctl_table_header in proc_sysctl

From: Joel Granados
Date: Wed Jun 21 2023 - 05:10:20 EST


This is a preparation commit to use ctl_table_header instead of
ctl_table as the pointer that is passed around in proc_sysctl.c. This is
necessary as the size of the ctl_table array moved from the ctl_table
pointer to the ctl_table_header. The functions changed are
sysctl_check_table, get_links and new_links.
