[PATCH] sysctl: fix restrict write access to dmesg_restrict

From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Fri Mar 30 2012 - 19:43:36 EST


Commit bfdc0b4 adds code to restrict access to dmesg_restrict,
however, it incorrectly alters kptr_restrict rather than
dmesg_restrict.

The original patch from Richard Weinberger
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/14/362) alters dmesg_restrict as
expected, and so the patch seems to have been misapplied.
