David: I sent you this patch a while back but it was mixed with other
unrelated patches that were mostly ignored.

Again, to clarify: it does not matter at the moment if
register_net_sysctl_table or unregister_sysctl_table is called because
both to the same thing:


void unregister_net_sysctl_table(struct ctl_table_header *header)
{
        unregister_sysctl_table(header);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(unregister_net_sysctl_table);


We should either get rid of unregister_net_sysctl_table or use it consistently.
