[PATCH 4/8] sysctl: Replace nr_entries with ctl_table_size in new_links

From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 02:30:30 EST


From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The number of ctl_table entries (nr_entries) calculation was previously
based on the ctl_table_size and the sentinel element. Since the
sentinels have been removed, we remove the calculation and just use the
ctl_table_size from the ctl_table_header.
