sysctl: Remove check for sentinel element in ctl_table arrays

Browse Source 
Use ARRAY_SIZE exclusively by removing the check to ->procname in the
stopping criteria of the loops traversing ctl_table arrays. This commit
finalizes the removal of the sentinel elements at the end of ctl_table
arrays which reduces the build time size 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 entry->procname evaluation from the for loop stopping
criteria in sysctl and sysctl_net.
