Subject: [PATCH 3.18 121/134] kernel/sysctl.c: add missing range check in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Zev Weiss <zev@...ilderbeest.net>

commit 8cf7630b29701d364f8df4a50e4f1f5e752b2778 upstream.

This bug has apparently existed since the introduction of this function
in the pre-git era (4500e91754d3 in Thomas Gleixner's history.git,
"[NET]: Add proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies, use it for proper handling of
neighbour sysctls.").

As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the corresponding check in
do_proc_dointvec_conv().
