commit a9febbb4bd1302b6f01aa1203b0a804e4e5c9e25 upstream
sysctl check complains with a WARN() when proc_doulongvec_minmax() or proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() are used by a vector of longs (with more than one element), with no min or max value specified.
This is unexpected, given we had a bug on this min/max handling :)
