[v1,net,06/16] sysctl: Add proc_douintvec_minmax_lockless().

Commit Message

A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of
data-race.  So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid
load/store-tearing.

This patch changes proc_douintvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
internally to fix a data-race on the sysctl side.  For now,
proc_douintvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.

In case we miss such fixes, this patch converts proc_douintvec_minmax() to
a wrapper of proc_douintvec_minmax_lockless().  When we fix a data-race in
the other subsystem, we can explicitly set it as a handler.

Also, this patch removes proc_douintvec_minmax()'s document and adds
proc_douintvec_minmax_lockless()'s one so that no one will use
proc_douintvec_minmax() anymore.
