Replace the "write" integer parameter with SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN() and
SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER() that clearly indicate data flow direction in
sysctl operations.
"write" originates in proc_sysctl.c (proc_sys_{read,write}) and can take
one of two values: "0" or "1" when called from proc_sys_read and
proc_sys_write respectively. When write has a value of zero, data is
"written" to a user space buffer from a kernel variable (usually
ctl_table->data). Whereas when write has a value greater than zero, data
is "written" to an internal kernel variable from a user space buffer.
Remove this ambiguity by introducing macros that clearly indicate the
direction of the "write".
The write mode names in sysctl_writes_mode are left unchanged as these
directly relate to the sysctl_write_strict file in /proc/sys where the
word "write" unambiguously refers to writing to a file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
