Subject: [PATCH 04/14] sysctl: Add size argument to init_header

In this commit, the size of the ctl_table array is passed to initialize
the ctl_table_size element in the ctl_table_header struct. Although
ctl_table_size is not currently used, this step prepares us for when we
begin traversing the ctl_table array with it. In __register_sysctl_table
we use a calculated size until we add the size argument to that
function.
