Nope:

void unregister_net_sysctl_table(struct ctl_table_header *header)
{
        unregister_sysctl_table(header);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(unregister_net_sysctl_table);

But I thought that in the future, if something special needs to be
done for unregister_net_sysctl_table, it would be better to have these
consistent. I'll do a check on all the tree to see if there are other
cases.

Another approach would be to remove unregister_net_sysctl_table, as it
does nothing different of unregister_sysctl_table and let our future
selves deal with the problem.

Can you tell me what you'd like?
