sysctl: move some boundary constants from sysctl.c to sysctl_vals
[ Upstream commit 78e36f3b0dae586f623c4a37ec5eb5496f5abbe1 ]
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.
[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: update it for "mm/pagealloc: sysctl: change watermark_scale_factor max limit to 30%"]
