Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kernel/sysctl.c: define minmax conv functions in terms of non-minmax versions

do_proc_do[u]intvec_minmax_conv() had included open-coded versions of
do_proc_do[u]intvec_conv(), though the signed one omitted the check
that the value is in [INT_MIN, INT_MAX].  Rather than increase the
duplication further by copying the additional check, we can instead
refactor both to be defined in terms of their non-bounded counterparts
(plus the added check).
