The test if a table is a permanently empty one, inspects the address of
the registered ctl_table argument.
However as sysctl_mount_point is an empty array and does not occupy and
space it can end up sharing an address with another object in memory.
If that other object itself is a "struct ctl_table" then registering
that table will fail as it's incorrectly recognized as permanently empty.

Avoid this issue by adding a dummy element to the array so that is not
empty anymore.
Explicitly register the table with zero elements as otherwise the dummy
element would be recognized as a sentinel element which would lead to a
runtime warning from the sysctl core.

While the issue seems not being encountered at this time, this seems
mostly to be due to luck.
Also a future change, constifying sysctl_mount_point and root_table, can
reliably trigger this issue on clang 18.

Given that empty arrays are non-standard in the first place it seems
prudent to avoid them if possible.
