From: Joel Granados <[email protected]> Added a new check named check_sentinel_ctltable that prints a warning when a sentinel element is detected in a ctl_table struct array. Sentinels marking the end of a ctl_table array where completely removed from the linux kernel in [1]. We add this warning to avoid cases where a sentinel gets added by mistake.
