Subject: [PATCH 2/2] linux/kernel.h: split *_MAX and *_MIN macros into <linux/limits.h>

<linux/kernel.h> tends to be cluttered because we often put various
sort of unrelated stuff in it. So, we have split out a sensible chunk
of code into a separate header from time to time.

This commit splits out the *_MAX and *_MIN defines.

The standard header <limits.h> contains various MAX, MIN constants
including numerial limits. [1]

So, I think it makes sense to move in-kernel MAX, MIN constants into
include/linux/limits.h.

We already have include/uapi/linux/limits.h to contain some user-space
constants. I changed its include guard to _UAPI_LINUX_LIMITS_H. This
change has no impact to the user-space because scripts/headers_install.sh
rips off the '_UAPI' prefix from the include guards of exported headers.
