sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us 

commit 079be8fc63 upstream.

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:

  - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
  - parsed by proc_do_intvec()
  - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()

Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:

  if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0)
	return EINVAL;

This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.

Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.

As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.

There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:
