 * __register_sysctl_table - register a leaf sysctl table
 * @set: Sysctl tree to register on
 * @path: The path to the directory the sysctl table is in.
 * @table: the top-level table structure without any child. This table
 * 	 should not be free'd after registration. So it should not be
 * 	 used on stack. It can either be a global or dynamically allocated
 * 	 by the caller and free'd later after sysctl unregistration.
 *
 * Register a sysctl table hierarchy. @table should be a filled in ctl_table
 * array. A completely 0 filled entry terminates the table.
 *
 * The members of the &struct ctl_table structure are used as follows:
 *
 * procname - the name of the sysctl file under /proc/sys. Set to %NULL to not
 *            enter a sysctl file
 *
 * data - a pointer to data for use by proc_handler
 *
 * maxlen - the maximum size in bytes of the data
 *
 * mode - the file permissions for the /proc/sys file
 *
 * child - must be %NULL.
 *
 * proc_handler - the text handler routine (described below)
 *
 * extra1, extra2 - extra pointers usable by the proc handler routines
 * XXX: we should eventually modify these to use long min / max [0]
 * [0] https://lkml.kernel.org/87zgpte9o4.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org
 *
 * Leaf nodes in the sysctl tree will be represented by a single file
 * under /proc; non-leaf nodes (where child is not NULL) are not allowed,
 * sysctl_check_table() verifies this.
 *
 * There must be a proc_handler routine for any terminal nodes.
 * Several default handlers are available to cover common cases -
 *
 * proc_dostring(), proc_dointvec(), proc_dointvec_jiffies(),
 * proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies(), proc_dointvec_minmax(),
 * proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax(), proc_doulongvec_minmax()
 *
 * It is the handler's job to read the input buffer from user memory
 * and process it. The handler should return 0 on success.
 *
 * This routine returns %NULL on a failure to register, and a pointer
 * to the table header on success.
