qemuProcessLaunch() is the correct place to set process limits, and in fact is where we were dealing with almost all of them, but the memory locking limit was handled in qemuBuildCommandLine() instead for some reason. The code is rewritten so that the desired limit is calculated and applied in separated steps, which will help with further changes, but this doesn't alter the behavior.
