Subject[PATCH 03/14] sysctl: Add ctl_table_size to ctl_table_header
Date
The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table
contained in the header. This value is passed by the callers to the
sysctl register infrastructure.

This is a preparation commit that allows us to systematically add
ctl_table_size and start using it only when it is in all the places
where there is a sysctl registration.
