Subject: [PATCH] sys_setrlimit: make sure ->rlim_max never grows
References: FATE#305733
Patch-mainline: no (later)
Mostly preparation for Jiri's changes, but probably makes sense anyway.
sys_setrlimit() checks new_rlim.rlim_max <= old_rlim->rlim_max, but when
it takes task_lock() old_rlim->rlim_max can be already lowered. Move this
check under task_lock().
Currently this is not important, we can only race with our sub-thread,
this means the application is stupid. But when we change the code to allow
the update of !current task's limits, it becomes important to make sure
->rlim_max can be lowered "reliably" even if we race with the application
doing sys_setrlimit().
