proc_dointvec: write a single value
The commit 00b7c3395aec3df43de5bd02a3c5a099ca51169f "sysctl: refactor integer handling proc code" modified the behaviour of writing to /proc. Before the commit, write("1\n") to /proc/sys/kernel/printk succeeded. But now it returns EINVAL. This commit supports writing a single value to a multi-valued entry. Signed-off-by: J. R.
