3.16.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit da029c11e6b12f321f36dac8771e833b65cec962 upstream.
To avoid pathological stack usage or the need to special-case setuid
execs, just limit all arg stack usage to at most 75% of _STK_LIM (6MB).

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: replaced code is slightly different]
