    sched: enforce the 0..1 bound on sched_cpulimit_scale_cpufreq
    
    The sched_cpulimit_scale_cpufreq sysctl was registered with
      .extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO
      .extra2 = SYSCTL_ONE
    but with .proc_handler = proc_dointvec.
    
    proc_dointvec() ignores extra1/extra2, so the intended [0, 1] clamp was
    never applied. sysctl_sched_cpulimit_scale_cpufreq is also unsigned int,
    so proc_dointvec() is the wrong signedness for it in the first place.
    
    Use proc_douintvec_minmax() so the already-declared bounds are honoured
    and an out-of-range write is rejected.
    
    Fixes: 4e99efb641da0 ("sched: Port CONFIG_CFS_CPULIMIT feature")
    Feature: sched: ability to limit number of CPUs available to a CT
