sysctl: returns -EINVAL when a negative value is passed to proc_doulongvec_minmax

mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.17-rc1
commit 1622ed7d
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 185873, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4MTTR
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1622ed7d0743201293094162c26019d2573ecacb

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

When we pass a negative value to the proc_doulongvec_minmax() function,
the function returns 0, but the corresponding interface value does not
change.

we can easily reproduce this problem with the following commands:

    cd /proc/sys/fs/epoll
    echo -1 > max_user_watches; echo $?; cat max_user_watches

This function requires a non-negative number to be passed in, so when a
negative number is passed in, -EINVAL is returned.
