Alexey Dobriyan 704503d836 mm: fix proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies "breakage" 
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9838

On i386, HZ=1000, jiffies_to_clock_t() converts time in a somewhat strange
way from the user's point of view:

	# echo 500 >/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
	# cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
	499

So, we have 5000 jiffies converted to only 499 clock ticks and reported
back.

TICK_NSEC = 999848
ACTHZ = 256039

Keeping in-kernel variable in units passed from userspace will fix issue
of course, but this probably won't be right for every sysctl.
