I did a backport of the patches to 3.12.16 and forward ported them to 3.12.20.

I'm very happy with how they work.

I used the patches on machines with 10-20k processes and it worked perfectly when some of the containers spawned 100s of
processes. It really saved us when one of the containers was attacked :)

The only thing that I'm going to add is on the fly change of the limit.
