As per the compile bot, these need to be under CONFIG_SYSCTL. I'd
recommend just moving them a few lines further down to do that.

I think this would be cleaner:

static unsigned int max_gid = ((gid_t) ~0U) - 1;

however, as it explains why the value is what it is rather than being
some magic constant.
