mm: fix uninitialized use in overcommit_policy_handler

We get an unexpected value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory after
running the following program:

  int main()
  {
      int fd = open("/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory", O_RDWR);
      write(fd, "1", 1);
      write(fd, "2", 1);
      close(fd);
  }

write(fd, "2", 1) will pass *ppos = 1 to proc_dointvec_minmax.
proc_dointvec_minmax will return 0 without setting new_policy.

  t.data = &new_policy;
  ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(&t, write, buffer, lenp, ppos)
      -->do_proc_dointvec
         -->__do_proc_dointvec
              if (write) {
                if (proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore(ppos, table))
                  goto out;

  sysctl_overcommit_memory = new_policy;

so sysctl_overcommit_memory will be set to an uninitialized value.

Check whether new_policy has been changed by proc_dointvec_minmax.
