[PATCH v2] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1

Show all headers | View raw

timer_migration sysctl acts as a boolean switch, so the allowed values
should be restricted to 0 and 1.

Add the necessary extra fields to the sysctl table entry to enforce
that.

Testcase is ltp/runpwtests06.
