[PATCH v2 6/8] powerpc: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table arrays

From: Joel Granados <j.granados at samsung.com>

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/)

Remove sentinel from powersave_nap_ctl_table and nmi_wd_lpm_factor_ctl_table.
This removal is safe because register_sysctl implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE()
in addition to checking for the sentinel.
