[PATCH 0/3] sysctl: Fix out of bounds access for empty syscl ctl_tables

[Joel Granados via B4 Relay]

Fix an out of bounds access reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202311201431.57aae8f3-oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx
Make sure that the ctl_table header size is greater than 0 before
evaluating if a ctl_table is permanently empty; this evaluation accesses
the first element regardless of the size. Adjusted the ctl_table_size of
Permanently empty ctl_table registers to 1 as they the check now
requires them to have size greater than 0. Added tests for empty
directory handling; in response to the path followed by empty ctl_tables
changing slightly. Clarified the results of sysctl self tests to more
easily identify which ones are OK, Skipped and Failed.

Comments are greatly appreciated
