[PATCH 6/8] sysctl: Remove "child" sysctl code comments
From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 02:30:44 EST
From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Erase the code comments mentioning "child" that were forgotten when the
child element was removed in commit 2f2665c13af48 ("sysctl: replace
child with an enumeration").
