Revert "docs: sysctl/kernel: document ngroups_max"
This reverts commit 2f4c33063ad713e3a5b63002cf8362846e78bd71. The changes here were fine, but there's a non-documentation change to sysctl.c that makes messes elsewhere; those changes should have been done independently. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
