Subject[PATCH -next] sysctl: returns -EINVAL when a negative value is passed to proc_doulongvec_minmax
Date
When we pass a negative value to the proc_doulongvec_minmax() function,
the function returns 0, but the corresponding interface value does not
change.

we can easily reproduce this problem with the following commands:
`cd /proc/sys/fs/epoll`
`echo -1 > max_user_watches; echo $?; cat max_user_watches`

This function requires a non-negative number to be passed in, so when
a negative number is passed in, -EINVAL is returned.
