perf/core: Fix the perf_cpu_time_max_percent check
commit 1572e45a924f254d9570093abde46430c3172e3d upstream. Use "proc_dointvec_minmax" instead of "proc_dointvec" to check the input value from user-space. If not, we can set a big value and some vars will overflow like "sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate" which will cause a lot of unexpected problems.
