Subject: [PATCH] net: sysctl: fix a kmemleak warning

the returned buffer of register_sysctl() is stored into net_header
variable, but net_header is not used after, and compiler maybe
optimise the variable out, and lead kmemleak reported the below warning

	comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294937448 (age 267.270s)
