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/) Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The size is redundant as the initialization sets it. Changed insn_emulation->sysctl from a 2 element array of struct ctl_table to a simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl registration as it is forwarded as a pointer. Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table, sme_default_vl_table, tagged_addr_sysctl_table and armv8_pmu_sysctl_table. This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.

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.
