sysctl: return -EINVAL if val violates minmax
Currently when userspace gives us a values that overflow e.g. file-max and
other callers of __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() we simply
ignore the new value and leave the current value untouched. This can be
problematic as it gives the illusion that the limit has indeed be bumped
when in fact it failed.
This commit makes sure to return EINVAL when an overflow is detected.
Please note that this is a userspace facing change.
