ve/mm: enforce the 0..100 bound on vfs_cache_min_ratio
The vfs_cache_min_ratio sysctl was registered with
.extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO
.extra2 = SYSCTL_ONE_HUNDRED
but with .proc_handler = proc_dointvec.
proc_dointvec() ignores extra1/extra2, so the intended [0, 100] clamp
was never applied and any value (e.g. 101 or negative) was accepted.
Use proc_dointvec_minmax() so the already-declared bounds are honoured
and an out-of-range write is rejected with -EINVAL.
Fixes: b1d8855b18e5b ("ve/mm: introduce min threshold for dcache")
Feature: mm: threshold for minimal dcache amount
