I tried on linux-4.1:
     linux:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
     8388608    12582912        16777216
     linux:~# echo 1234 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
     -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
     linux:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
     1234       12582912        16777216

the echo operation got error, but value already written to tcp_mem.
If a write() returns an error like EINVAL, we expect no change occurred.
This patch fix the confusing corner and makes __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax
works the same as __do_proc_dointvec
