The maxolduid value is only shared for sysctl purposes for
use on a max range. Just stuff this into our shared const
array.

The new SYSCTL_MAXOLDUID uses the index 10 of sysctl_vals[] but the same
commit replaces index 8 (SYSCTL_THREE_THOUSAND used by
vm.watermark_scale_factor) instead of adding a new entry.
It should be:

INT_MAX, 65535 };
