The argument is never used and can be removed.

In a future commit the sysctl core will only use
"const struct ctl_table". Removing it here is a preparation for this
consitifcation.

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, table, uid, gid;
  @@

  void func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *table,
    kuid_t *uid, kgid_t *gid)
  { ... }

The single changed location was validate through manual inspection and
compilation.

In addition, a search for 'set_ownership' was done over the full tree to
look for places that were missed by coccinelle.
None were found.

Will drop this from the commit message when I add it to constfy branch.
For the same reasons as before.

here is the commit message that I'll use
"""
sysctl: treewide: drop unused argument ctl_table_root::set_ownership(table)

Remove the 'table' argument from set_ownership as it is never used. This
change is a step towards putting "struct ctl_table" into .rodata and
eventually having sysctl core only use "const struct ctl_table".

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, table, uid, gid;
  @@

  void func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *table,
    kuid_t *uid, kgid_t *gid)
  { ... }

No additional occurrences of 'set_ownership' were found after doing a
tree-wide search.
