Subject: [PATCH v12 6/7] sysctl: handle table->maxlen properly for proc_dobool

Setting ->proc_handler to proc_dobool at the same time setting ->maxlen
to sizeof(int) is counter-intuitive, it is easy to make mistakes.  For
robustness, fix it by handling able->maxlen properly for proc_dobool in
__do_proc_dointvec().  In the next patch, we will use proc_dobool which
depends on this change.
