From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@linux.microsoft.com>
The move of proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() from kernel/sysctl.c to kernel/printk/sysctl.c introduced an incorrect __user attribute to the buffer argument. I spotted this change in [1] as well as the kernel test robot. Revert this change to please sparse:
kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: expected void * kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: got void [noderef] __user *buffer
