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.

This seems like a workaround for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs not being exported. If true, this can be addressed by creating a symbol namespace (new) and using that namespace on this path.
