mm/page_alloc: only update lowmem_reserve_ratio on sysctl write
lowmem_reserve_ratio_sysctl_handler() ignores the return value of
proc_dointvec_minmax() and always calls setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(),
even for read operations.
Fix three issues:
1. Propagate errors from proc_dointvec_minmax() instead of always
returning success. For example, writing non-integer garbage to the
sysctl now returns an error instead of silently succeeding with
unchanged values.
2. Only call setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() when the sysctl is
actually written, matching the write-only refresh pattern of
min_free_kbytes and watermark_scale_factor handlers.
3. On write, parse into a temporary ratio[] array and only copy into
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[] and refresh derived state after the
full vector is validated. This avoids leaving the ratio array
partially updated while skipping setup when proc_dointvec_minmax()
returns an error on a later element (suggested by Andrew Morton).
Drop the manual "< 1 -> 0" sanitization loop and set .extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO
on the ctl_table entry so proc_dointvec_minmax() enforces the minimum on
write; negative values now return -EINVAL instead of being silently
coerced to 0 (suggested by Vlastimil Babka).
