[patch 16/28] exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()

While the defense-in-depth RLIMIT_STACK limit on setuid processes was
protected against races from other threads calling setrlimit(), I missed
protecting it against races from external processes calling prlimit(). 
This adds locking around the change and makes sure that rlim_max is set
too.
