From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 629715adc62b0ad27ab04d0aa73a71927f886910 upstream. The purpose of inc_rlimit_ucounts and dec_rlimit_ucounts in commit_creds is to change which rlimit counter is used to track a process when the credentials changes. Use the same test for both to guarantee the tracking is correct.
