PATCH 1/1 fork_init: Update max_threads comment
The comment explaining what value max_threads is set to is outdated. The maximum memory consumption ratio for thread structures was 1/2 until February 2002, then it was briefly changed to 1/16 before being set to 1/8 which we still use today. The comment was never updated to reflect that change, it's about time.
