I don't have yet a lot of experience with Centos7, but so far whenever things that used to work in Centos6 didn't in Centos7 for me the guilty part was systemd. Systemd is the new replacement for init and a bunch of other things. If I google systemd security/limits.conf I get hits that your problem too is due to systemd. For example here is a guide to change one of the ulimits in centos7: https://ma.ttias.be/increase-open-files-limit-in-mariadb-on-centos-7-with-systemd/ I don't know if that works, but it is in line with the "systemd broke things" idea...
