You could combine the two write functions together and then two read
functions together if you'd like.

That doesn't work for depraceted_mode (sic), you'd need to test for
OOM_ADJUST_MIN and OOM_ADJUST_MAX in that case.

There have been efforts to reuse as much of this code as possible for
other sysctl handlers as well, you might be better off looking for other
users of the common read and write code and then merging them first
(comm_write, proc_coredump_filter_write, etc).
