sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().

Browse Source 
A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance
of data-race.  So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to
avoid load/store-tearing.

This patch changes proc_dou8vec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side.  For now,
proc_dou8vec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
