Christoph Hellwig ef9d965bc8 sysctl: reject gigantic reads/write to sysctl files 
Instead of triggering a WARN_ON deep down in the page allocator just
give up early on allocations that are way larger than the usual sysctl
values.

Fixes: 32927393dc ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
