In sysctl_extfrag_handler(), proc_dointvec_minmax() can return an
error. The fix propagates the error upstream in case of failure.

Why not just ...
Mel, Randy? You seem to have been the prime instigators on this.

Yes, this change (below) makes sense to me.

I expect that all I did was move the location of the source code lines of
the sysctl, but that is just a guess, based on this commit message:

In sysctl_extfrag_handler(), proc_dointvec_minmax() can return an
error. The fix propagates the error upstream in case of failure.

Don't do this. If you're going to return something, it should be on the same
line as the return statement.
ie:
+ return proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buffer, length, ppos);
