After while thinking, I decided to just drop this idea. because
1) If one pass check is must, we can't reuse vm-overcommit check.
2) Glibc has the duplicated hueristic, then we can't change it nor
introduce new hard limit. (Sh*t)
3) This is not must fix, it only mitigate a pain when accidental large
argv case. Only OOM fixes enough care intended attack case.
4) distro can change default of rlim_max of RLIMIT_STACK. It protect
from RLIM_INFINITY smash.
Briefly says, to introduce new limit has bad benefit/risk balance. Sadly.
