The sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_size parameter is currently registered
via debugfs_create_u32(), which accepts any u32 value including 0. A
zero value triggers division-by-zero in two code paths:
task_scan_min():
windows = MAX_SCAN_WINDOW / scan_size;
task_nr_scan_windows():
rss = round_up(rss, nr_scan_pages);
return rss / nr_scan_pages;
Similarly, values exceeding UINT_MAX would be silently truncated by
the write path before reaching this handler, potentially accepting
unintended values. Reject them explicitly with -ERANGE
Replace the debugfs_create_u32() interface with a custom file_operations
handler that validates writes: reject 0 and values exceeding UINT_MAX
with -ERANGE. Since the ops use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() which already
provides removal protection via debugfs_file_get()/put(),
debugfs_create_file_unsafe() is used instead of debugfs_create_file() to
avoid an unnecessary full_proxy layer.
Fixes: 8a99b6833c88 ("sched: Move SCHED_DEBUG sysctl to debugfs")
