Subject: [PATCH 01/11] stackleak: don't modify ctl_table argument

In a future commit the proc_handlers will change to
"const struct ctl_table".
As a preparation for that adapt the logic to work with a temporary
variable, similar to how it is done in other parts of the kernel.

Fixes: 964c9dff0091 ("stackleak: Allow runtime disabling of kernel stack erasing")
