Subject: [PATCH 8/9] sysctl: Rename proc_doulongvec_minmax_conv to
 proc_doulongvec_conv

Remove "_minmax" from proc_doulongvec_minmax_conv as it does not enforce
min/max limits but serves as a generic converter for unsigned long
vectors. Update function declaration in sysctl.h, definition in
sysctl.c, and caller in jiffies.c accordingly.
