This is to let bool variable could be correctly displayed in
big/little endian sysctl procfs.
sizeof(bool) is arch dependent, proc_dobool should work in all
arches.

Hi Jia,

[auto build test ERROR on linus/master]
[also build test ERROR on v4.9 next-20161214]
[if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system]

url:    https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Jia-He/sysctl-introduce-new-proc-handler-proc_dobool/20161214-112656
config: x86_64-randconfig-n0-12141159 (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-4.8 (Debian 4.8.4-1) 4.8.4
reproduce:
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=x86_64 

All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):

>> kernel/built-in.o:(___ksymtab+proc_dobool+0x0): undefined reference to `proc_dobool'

Thanks, this error is caused by

# CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL is not set

Will fixed in next version
