Mickaël Salaün 1f2cfdd349 printk: Fix incorrect __user type in proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin()
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

Fixes: faaa357a55 ("printk: move printk sysctl to printk/sysctl.c")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
