checkpatch.pl: warn on duplicate sysctl local variable
Commit d91bff3011cf ("proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range
check") adds some shared const variables to be used instead of a local
copy in each source file. Warn when a chunk duplicates one of these
values in a ctl_table struct:
$ scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-test-commit.patch
WARNING: duplicated sysctl range checking value 'zero', consider using the shared one in include/linux/sysctl.h

WARNING: duplicated sysctl range checking value 'int_max', consider using the shared one in include/linux/sysctl.h
#28: FILE: arch/arm/kernel/isa.c:49:
+ .extra2 = &int_max,
