* Replace void* data in the converter functions with a const struct
ctl_table* table as it was only getting forwarding values from
ctl_table->extra{1,2}.
* Remove the void* data in the do_proc_* functions as they already had a
pointer to the ctl_table.
* Remove min/max structures do_proc_do{uint,int}vec_minmax_conv_param;
the min/max values get passed directly in ctl_table.
* Keep min/max initialization in extra{1,2} in proc_dou8vec_minmax.
* The do_proc_douintvec was adjusted outside sysctl.c as it is exported
to fs/pipe.c.

Remove superfluous tbl_data param from do_proc_douintvec{,_r,_w}
and __do_proc_do{intvec,uintvec,ulongvec_minmax}. There is no need to
pass it as it is always contained within the ctl_table struct.

Remove "__" from __do_proc_do{intvec,uintvec,ulongvec_minmax} internal
functions and delete their corresponding do_proc_do* wrappers. These
indirections are unnecessary as they do not add extra logic nor do they
indicate a layer separation.

Replace the "write" integer parameter with SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN() and
SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER() that clearly indicate data flow direction in
sysctl operations.
"write" originates in proc_sysctl.c (proc_sys_{read,write}) and can take
one of two values: "0" or "1" when called from proc_sys_read and
proc_sys_write respectively. When write has a value of zero, data is
"written" to a user space buffer from a kernel variable (usually
ctl_table->data). Whereas when write has a value greater than zero, data
is "written" to an internal kernel variable from a user space buffer.
Remove this ambiguity by introducing macros that clearly indicate the
direction of the "write".
The write mode names in sysctl_writes_mode are left unchanged as these
directly relate to the sysctl_write_strict file in /proc/sys where the
word "write" unambiguously refers to writing to a file.

To: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Jan Kara, Kees Cook,
Joel Granados
Cc: linux-fsdevel, linux-kernel
Rename converter parameter to indicate data flow direction: "lvalp" to
"u_ptr" indicating a user space parsed value pointer. "valp" to "k_ptr"
indicating a kernel storage value pointer. This facilitates the
identification of discrepancies between direction (copy to kernel or
copy to user space) and the modified variable. This is a preparation
commit for when the converter functions are exposed to the rest of the
kernel.

Eight converter functions are created using two new macros
(SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV & SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV); they are
called from four pre-existing converter functions: do_proc_dointvec_conv
and do_proc_dointvec{,_userhz,_ms}_jiffies_conv. The function names
generated by the macros are differentiated by a string suffix passed as
the first macro argument.
The SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV macro first executes the u_ptr_op
operation, then checks for overflow, assigns sign (-, +) and finally
writes to the kernel var with WRITE_ONCE; it always returns an -EINVAL
when an overflow is detected. The SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV uses
READ_ONCE, casts to unsigned long, then executes the k_ptr_op before
assigning the value to the user space buffer.
The overflow check is always done against MAX_INT after applying
{k,u}_ptr_op. This approach avoids rounding or precision errors that
might occur when using the inverse operations.

New SYSCTL_INT_CONV_CUSTOM macro creates "bi-directional" converters
from a user-to-kernel and a kernel-to-user functions. Replace integer
versions of do_proc_*_conv functions with the ones from the new macro.
Rename "_dointvec_" to just "_int_" as these converters are not applied
to vectors and the "do" is already in the name.
Move the USER_HZ validation directly into proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies()

Extend the SYSCTL_INT_CONV_CUSTOM macro with a k_ptr_range_check
parameter to conditionally generate range validation code. When enabled,
validation is done against table->extra1 (min) and table->extra2 (max)
bounds before assignment. Add base minmax and ms_jiffies_minmax
converter instances that utilize the range checking functionality.

Pass sysctl_{user_to_kern,kern_to_user}_uint_conv (unsigned integer
uni-directional converters) to the new SYSCTL_UINT_CONV_CUSTOM macro
to create do_proc_douintvec_conv's replacement (do_proc_uint_conv).
This is a preparation commit to use the unsigned integer converter from
outside sysctl. No functional change is intended.

Replace sysctl_user_to_kern_uint_conv function with
SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_UINT_CONV macro that accepts u_ptr_op parameter for
value transformation. Replacing sysctl_kern_to_user_uint_conv is not
needed as it will only be used from within sysctl.c. This is a
preparation commit for creating a custom converter in fs/pipe.c. No
Functional changes are intended.
