Bound nsm_local_state sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ZERO
and SYSCTL_INT_MAX.

The proc_handler has thus been updated to proc_dointvec_minmax.

Hi Nicolas -

nsm_local_state is an unsigned 32-bit integer. The type of that value is
defined by spec, because this value is exchanged between peers on the
network.

Perhaps this patch should replace proc_dointvec with proc_douintvec
instead.

Hi Chuck,

Thank's for your review.

If `nsm_local_state` should be set to the
full range of an uint32_t by a user writing in the sysctl, then yes it 
should
use `proc_douintvec` instead of limiting it to SYSCTL_INT_MAX value 
(INT_MAX).

I've used `proc_dointvec_minmax` since it already used `proc_dointvec` 
and thus
was already capped at INT_MAX.

Best regards,

Nicolas

As Nicolas stated, that is completely up to how you used the variable.

Things to notice:
1. If you want the full range of a unsigned long, then you should stop
   using proc_dointvec as it will upper limit the value to INT_MAX.
2. If you want to keep using nsm_local_state as unsigned int, then
   please add SYSCTL_ZERO as a lower bound to avoid assigning negative
   values
3. Having SYSCTL_INT_MAX is not necessary as it is already capped by
   proc_dointvec{_minmax,}, but it is nice to have as it makes explicit
   what is happening.

Let me know if you take this through your trees so I can remove it from
sysctl.
