Subject: [PATCH 3/5] sysctl: write ctl_table->extra2 to entries created from ctl_path
For each entry in an array of 'struct ctl_path' we were registering a
'struct ctl_table' array with two entries:
- one to store the name + permissions,
- one as an end-of-array marker (completely blank).
We were not using any of the data storage fields
(data, extra1, extra2) in the first 'struct ctl_table'.
This patch adds possibility of storring some user provided
pointer in the 'extra2' field.
All users the next functions store NULL in the 'extra2'
field like they used to before this patch:
* register_sysctl_paths
* register_net_sysctl_table
* register_net_sysctl_rotable
Until now sysctl_check_table considered that the 'struct ctl_table' of
directories may not store anything in the 'extra2' field. We no longer
consider this a fault.
