sysctl: drop now unnecessary out-of-bounds check

Browse source 
Remove the now unneeded check for ctl_table_size; it is safe
to do so as sysctl_set_perm_empty_ctl_header() does not access the
ctl_table member anymore.

This also makes the element of sysctl_mount_point unnecessary, so drop
it at the same time.
