Subject: [PATCH] AX.25: Fix sysctl registration if !CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE

Since 49ffcf8f99e8d33ec8afb450956804af518fd788
setting struct ctl_table.procname = NULL does no longer work as it used to
the way the AX.25 code is expecting it to resulting in the AX.25 sysctl
registration code to break if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE was not set as in some
distribution kernels.  Kernel releases from 2.6.24 are affected.
