[patch] make sysctl_overcommit_memory enumeration sensible

[Coywolf Qi Hunt]

I see system admins often confused when they sysctl vm.overcommit_memory.
This patch makes overcommit_memory enumeration sensible.

0 - no overcommit
1 - always overcommit
2 - heuristic overcommit (default)

I don't feel this would break any userspace scripts. If it seems OK, I'll
update the documents.
