rlimits: allow setrlimit to non-current tasks Add locking to allow setrlimit accept task parameter other than current. Namely, lock tasklist_lock for read and check whether the task structure has sighand non-null. Do all the signal processing under that lock still held. There are some points: 1) security_task_setrlimit is now called with that lock held. This is not new, many security_* functions are called with this lock held already so it doesn't harm (all this security_* stuff does almost the same). 2) task->sighand->siglock (in update_rlimit_cpu) is nested in tasklist_lock. This dependence is already existing. 3) tsk->alloc_lock is nested in tasklist_lock. This is OK too, already existing dependence.
