[PATCH 2/4] sysctl: Reject uint arrays before calling the general proc_vec

[Joel Granados]

Move the UINT vector size check to proc_douintvec_conv; the function
that routes UINT types only. Route all the UINT calls (including
proc_dou8vec_minmax) through proc_douintvec_conv.

UINT proc handlers that incorrectly define maxlen will now return
-EINVAL instead of 0 in the cases where data is missing, lenp is 0 or
ppos is 0. Note that maxlen == 0 is not considered as miss-defined.
