kernel/sysctl.c: add kdoc comments to do_proc_do{u}intvec_minmax_conv…

…_param

Kdoc comments are added to the do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv_param and
do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv_param structures thare are used internally
for range checking.

The error codes returned by proc_dointvec_minmax() and
proc_douintvec_minmax() are also documented.
