proc/sysctl: fix the int overflow for jiffies conversion
do_proc_dointvec_jiffies_conv() uses LONG_MAX/HZ as the max value to avoid overflow. But actually the *valp is int type, so it still causes overflow. For example, echo 2147483647 > ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time Then, cat ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time The output is "-1", it is not expected. Now use INT_MAX/HZ as the max value instead LONG_MAX/HZ to fix it.
