[PATCH v2] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1

[PATCH v2] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1

[Myungho Jung]

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.

Testcase is ltp/runpwtests06.

And the subject line of that mail tells you the branch inside the tip
repository and the subject line of the commit:
