On reflecting the patch is obviously wrong.  It should be pass zero as
table_size in that case.  See diff at the end.

There is a similar bug in neigh_sysctl_register() where we use memset to
zero out the whole table.  And another in __ip_vs_lblc_init().  I used
the smatch cross function database
	`smdb.py where ctl_table procname | grep '(null)' | grep min-max`
to make a list of functions which set procname to zero.

Probably we should add a WARN_ON() if procname is zero in the new code
which doesn't use sentinels.
