This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove the unneeded ctl_tables that were used to register intermediate parport directories; only the path is needed at this point. From parport_device_sysctl_table we removed: devices_root_dir, port_dir, parport_dir and dev_dir. From parport_default_sysctl_table we removed: default_dir, parport_dir and dev_dir. Reduce the size by one of the ctl_table arrays that were not removed Assign different sizes to the vars array in parport_sysctl_table depending on CONFIG_PARPORT_1284; this is necessary now that the sysctl register function uses ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the elements within. Remove the sentinel element from parport_sysctl_template, parport_device_sysctl_table and parport_default_sysctl_table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
