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/)

You should have the final entry as "}," so as to make any future
additions to the list to only contain that entry, that's long been the
kernel style for lists like this.

So your patches will just remove one line, not 2 and add 1, making it a
smaller diff.

thanks,

Hi Joel,

Thank you for your patch. I look forward to seeing V2, and will be happy
to review it.
