Subject[PATCH 4.9 58/64] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Myungho Jung <mhjungk@gmail.com>

commit b94bf594cf8ed67cdd0439e70fa939783471597a upstream.

timer_migration sysctl acts as a boolean switch, so the allowed values
should be restricted to 0 and 1.

Add the necessary extra fields to the sysctl table entry to enforce that.
