Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/rt: fix the case where sched_rt_period_us is negative

The proc_dointvec() is for integer, but sysctl_sched_rt_period is a
unsigned integer, proc_dointvec() would convert negative number into
positive number. So both proc_dointvec() and sched_rt_global_validate()
aren't return error even if we set a negative number.

Use proc_dointvec_minmax() instead of proc_dointvec() and use extra1
limit the minimum value for sched_rt_period_us/sched_rt_runtime_us.

Fixes: 391e43da797a ("sched: Move all scheduler bits into kernel/sched/")
