[PATCH 06/12] fork: mv threads-max into kernel/fork.c

From: Joel Granados
Date: Fri May 09 2025 - 08:58:19 EST


make sysctl_max_threads static as it no longer needs to be exported into
sysctl.c.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.
