Commit 3b3376f222e3 ("sysctl.c: fix underflow value setting risk in
vm_table") fixes underflow value setting risk in vm_table but misses
vdso_enabled sysctl.

vdso_enabled sysctl is initialized with .extra1 value as SYSCTL_ZERO to
avoid negative value writes but the proc_handler is proc_dointvec and not
proc_dointvec_minmax and thus do not uses .extra1 and .extra2.

The following command thus works :

# echo -1 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled

This patch properly sets the proc_handler to proc_dointvec_minmax.
