[PATCH] sysctl: remove struct ctl_path

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Dec 20 2023 - 16:24:00 EST


All usages of this struct have been removed from the kernel tree.

The struct is still referenced by scripts/check-sysctl-docs but that
script is broken anyways as it only supports the register_sysctl_paths()
API and not the currently used register_sysctl() one.
