[Devel] [PATCH vz10] 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
