[PATCH v2] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1

From: Myungho Jung
Date: Thu Apr 20 2017 - 14:48:48 EST


timer_migration sysctl acts as a boolean switch, so the allowed values
should be restricted to 0 and 1.

Add the necessary extra fields to the sysctl table entry to enforce
that.

Testcase is ltp/runpwtests06.
