Right now user_struct.mq_bytes that is currently used for checking
RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is unsigned log, but ucounts is signed int. The rlimit is
also unsigned long. If I migrate RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE to ucounts I will
decrease counter and possibly break backward compatibility. Technically,
it can be violated anyway.

linux/ipc/mqueue.c:376:

	mq_bytes += mq_treesize;
	spin_lock(&mq_lock);
	if (u->mq_bytes + mq_bytes < u->mq_bytes ||
	    u->mq_bytes + mq_bytes > rlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE)) {
		spin_unlock(&mq_lock);
		/* mqueue_evict_inode() releases info->messages */
		ret = -EMFILE;
		goto out_inode;
	}
	u->mq_bytes += mq_bytes;
	spin_unlock(&mq_lock);
