netfilter: conntrack: Bound nf_conntrack sysctl writes
nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctls were authorized to
be written any negative value, which would then be stored in the
unsigned int variables nf_conntrack_max and nf_ct_expect_max variables.
While the do_proc_dointvec_conv function is supposed to limit writing
handled by proc_dointvec proc_handler to INT_MAX. Such a negative value
being written in an unsigned int leads to a very high value, exceeding
this limit.
Moreover, the nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl documentation specifies the
minimum value is 1.
The proc_handlers have thus been updated to proc_dointvec_minmax in
order to specify the following write bounds :
* Bound nf_conntrack_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ZERO
and SYSCTL_INT_MAX.
* Bound nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ONE
and SYSCTL_INT_MAX as defined in the sysctl documentation.
With this patch applied, sysctl writes outside the defined in the bound
will thus lead to a write error :
```
sysctl -w net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_expect_max=-1
sysctl: setting key "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_expect_max": Invalid argument
```
