Subject: [PATCH 2/8] arm: Remove sentinel elem from ctl_table arrays

From: Joel Granados <j.granados@...sung.com>

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The
size is redundant as the initialization sets it.
Changed insn_emulation->sysctl from a 2 element array of struct
ctl_table to a simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl
registration as it is forwarded as a pointer.
Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table, sme_default_vl_table,
tagged_addr_sysctl_table and armv8_pmu_sysctl_table.
