ax.25: x.25: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
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/)
Avoid a buffer overflow when traversing the ctl_table by ensuring that
AX25_MAX_VALUES is the same as the size of ax25_param_table. This is
done with a BUILD_BUG_ON where ax25_param_table is defined and a
CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE guard in the unnamed enum definition as well as
in the ax25_dev_device_up and ax25_ds_set_timer functions.
The overflow happened when the sentinel was removed from
ax25_param_table. The sentinel's data element was changed when
CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE was undefined. This had no adverse effects as it
still stopped on the sentinel's null procname but needed to be addressed
once the sentinel was removed.
