This will break when it hits the linux-next. As ctl_name has been
removed in the sysctl tree. Not setting ctl_name is equivalent
to setting ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED. It is 0 in both cases.
So you can safely drop touches of ctl_name.
Ideally you would also call register_sysctl_paths from kernel/kprobes.c
and not add to the ifdef horror that is kernel/sysctl.c but that
is probably more trouble than it is worth right now. One way or
another there is going to be at least a minor conflict when this code
merges with the sysctl tree.
