Subject: sysctl: move some boundary constants from sysctl.c to sysctl_vals
sysctl has helpers which let us specify boundary values for a min or max
int value. Since these are used for a boundary check only they don't
change, so move these variables to sysctl_vals to avoid adding duplicate
variables. This will help with our cleanup of kernel/sysctl.c.
