Re: [PATCH v5 linux-kselftest-test 4/6] kunit: remove timeout dependence on sysctl_hung_task_timeout_seconds

In discussion of how to handle timeouts, it was noted that if sysctl_hung_task_timeout_seconds is exceeded for a kunit test, the test task will be killed and an oops generated. This should suffice as a means of debugging such timeout issues for now.

Hence remove use of sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs, which has the added benefit of avoiding the need to export that symbol from the core kernel.
