Linus Torvalds 23b0f90ba8 Summary
* Removed macros from proc handler converters
 
   Replace the proc converter macros with "regular" functions. Though it is more
   verbose than the macro version, it helps when debugging and better aligns with
   coding-style.rst.
 
 * General cleanup
 
   Remove superfluous ctl_table forward declarations. Const qualify the
   memory_allocation_profiling_sysctl and loadpin_sysctl_table arrays. Add
   missing kernel doc to proc_dointvec_conv.
 
 * Testing
 
   This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in
   x86_64. And went into linux-next after rc4, giving it a good 3 weeks of
   testing
