sysctl: check for UINT_MAX before unsigned int min/max

commit fb910c42ccebf853c29296185c45c11164a56098 upstream.

Mikulas noticed in the existing do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() introduced in this patchset, that they
inconsistently handle overflow and min/max range inputs:

For example:

  0 ... param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
  param->min ... param->max ---> the value is accepted
  param->max + 1 ... 0x100000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
  0x100000000L + param->min ... 0x100000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL
  0x100000000L + param->max + 1, 0x200000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
  0x200000000L + param->min ... 0x200000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL
  0x200000000L + param->max + 1, 0x300000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE

In do_proc_do*() routines which store values into unsigned int variables
(4 bytes wide for 64-bit builds), first validate that the input unsigned
long value (8 bytes wide for 64-bit builds) will fit inside the smaller
unsigned int variable.  Then check that the unsigned int value falls
inside the specified parameter min, max range.  Otherwise the unsigned
long -> unsigned int conversion drops leading bits from the input value,
leading to the inconsistent pattern Mikulas documented above.
