  HEAD: 0ac983f512033cb7b5e210c9589768ad25b1e36b ucounts: Fix systemd LimitNPROC with private users regression

Etienne Dechamps recently found a regression caused by enforcing
RLIMIT_NPROC for root where the rlimit was not previously enforced.

Michal Koutný had previously pointed out the inconsistency in enforcing
the RLIMIT_NPROC that had been on the root owned process after the root
user creates a user namespace.

Which makes the fix for the regression simply removing the
inconsistency.

Subject: [PATCH] ucounts: Fix systemd LimitNPROC with private users regression

Long story short recursively enforcing RLIMIT_NPROC when it is not
enforced on the process that creates a new user namespace, causes
currently working code to fail.  There is no reason to enforce
RLIMIT_NPROC recursively when we don't enforce it normally so update
the code to detect this case.

I would like to simply use capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) to detect when
RLIMIT_NPROC is not enforced upon the caller.  Unfortunately because
RLIMIT_NPROC is charged and checked for enforcement based upon the
real uid, using capable() which is euid based is inconsistent with reality.
Come as close as possible to testing for capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) by
testing for when the real uid would match the conditions when
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE would be present if the real uid was the effective
uid.
