Subject: [PATCH] SCTP: Free the per-net sysctl table on net exit. v2

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@...il.com>
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:02:47 -0500

Per-net sysctl table needs to be explicitly freed at
net exit.  Otherwise we see the following with kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff880402d08000 (size 2048):
  comm "chrome_sandbox", pid 18437, jiffies 4310887172 (age 9097.630s)

I fixed the spelling of sysctl_header so the code actually
compiles. -- EWB.

The typo is fixed in the patch this time in addition to my test
tree.
