+[ Upstream fixed this in a different way as parts of the commits:
+       8d987e5c7510 (net: avoid limits overflow)
+       a9febbb4bd13 (sysctl: min/max bounds are optional)
+       27b3d80a7b6a (sysctl: fix min/max handling in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax())

 On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and
 sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow.  Set limit such that they are
 maximized without overflowing.
