#1592961 — [PATCH -stable 4.1 4/4] perf/core: Fix the perf_cpu_time_max_percent check

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.
