How useful is a negative ip_vs_sync_interval?

Negative values will be converted to MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET by msecs_to_jiffies and result in a very long interval. A too long interval will be a good way to get your system OOM. We could use an unsigned int or even restrict the value with proc_dointvec_minmax. I'd prefer the latter, that's what I already had in my mind and it also protects from unintentionally choosing a too long interval.
