Subject: mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"?

Commit ed4d4902ebdd ("mm, hugetlb: remove hugetlb_zero and
hugetlb_infinity") replaced 'unsigned long hugetlb_zero' with 'int zero'
leading to out-of-bounds access in proc_doulongvec_minmax().  Use
'.extra1 = NULL' instead of '.extra1 = &zero'.  Passing NULL is
equivalent to passing minimal value, which is 0 for unsigned types.

Fixes: ed4d4902ebdd ("mm, hugetlb: remove hugetlb_zero and hugetlb_infinity")
