neigh: sysctl - simplify address calculation of gc_* variables
The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though, expresses this in the most ugly way. Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly. Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Cc: Brad Spengler <spender@grsecurity.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
