Do you possibly need:

	current->flags &= ~PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED;

somewhere after this point?

I think it's weird to have past set_user() failure affect other than the
very next execve().

Perhaps also reset the flag on fork() because we have an RLIMIT_NPROC
check on fork() anyway.

Thanks,

Alexander
