4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Myungho Jung <mhju...@gmail.com> commit b94bf594cf8ed67cdd0439e70fa939783471597a upstream. 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.
