This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal" and "permanently emtpy".
What changed?: * Replace "child" with a u8 "flag" variable and use it to differentiate between types by refactoring the permanently empty helper functions. * Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table * Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to calculate how many headers there are for every child * Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no need to traverse down the child tree any longer * Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag * Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c
