memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() returns the difference between the total size of the "memory" memblock type and the "reserved" memblock type. The "soft-reserved" memory regions are added to the "reserved" memblock type, but not to the "memory" memblock type. Therefore, memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() may return a smaller value than expected, or if it underflows, an extremely large value. /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max is determined by the value of memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages(). This issue was discovered on machines with CXL memory because kernel.threads-max was either smaller than expected or extremely large for the installed DRAM size. This fixes the issue by replacing memblock_reserved_size() with memblock_reserved_kern_size() that tells how much memory was reserved from the actual RAM.
