sysctl: check for UINT_MAX before unsigned int min/max
Mikulas noticed in the existing do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() introduced in this patchset, that they inconsistently handle overflow and min/max range inputs: For example: 0 ... param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE param->min ... param->max ---> the value is accepted param->max + 1 ... 0x100000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE 0x100000000L + param->min ... 0x100000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL 0x100000000L + param->max + 1, 0x200000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE 0x200000000L + param->min ... 0x200000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL 0x200000000L + param->max + 1, 0x300000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE In do_proc_do*() routines which store values into unsigned int variables (4 bytes wide for 64-bit builds), first validate that the input unsigned long value (8 bytes wide for 64-bit builds) will fit inside the smaller unsigned int variable. Then check that the unsigned int value falls inside the specified parameter min, max range. Otherwise the unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion drops leading bits from the input value, leading to the inconsistent pattern Mikulas documented above.
