[ Upstream commit3e0e51c0ee] When writing to the disable_policy sysctl, if proc_dointvec() fails to parse the input, it returns a negative error code. The current implementation is resetting the position argument even if an error occurred during proc_dointvec() and not only during sysctl restart. Fix this by checking the return value of proc_dointvec() and returning early on failure.

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 Restructured Text 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.
