Subject: [GIT PULL] sysctl changes for v6.12-rc1

Linus:

One bugfix and one non-code change for this PR; did not get things into
linux-next on time for proper testing because my PTO ended way to late in the
cycle. I expect the next cycle to be busier as I move through the backlog. I'll
be sure to use the co-maintainers to avoid having this situation next time.

The following changes since commit 5be63fc19fcaa4c236b307420483578a56986a37:

  MAINTAINERS: update email for Joel Granados (2024-09-20 12:25:06 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary

* Bug fix: Avoid evaluating non-mount ctl_tables as a sysctl_mount_point by
  removing the unlikely (but possible) chance that the permanently empty
  ctl_table array shares its address with another ctl_table.
* Update Joel Granados' contact info in MAINTAINERS.

Testing

* Bug fix merged to linux-next after 6.11-rc5
