From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c923a8e7edb010da67424077cbf1a6f1396ebd2e upstream. During set*id() which cred->ucounts to charge the the current process to is not known until after set_cred_ucounts. So move the RLIMIT_NPROC checking into a new helper flag_nproc_exceeded and call flag_nproc_exceeded after set_cred_ucounts. This is very much an arbitrary subset of the places where we currently change the RLIMIT_NPROC accounting, designed to preserve the existing logic. Fixing the existing logic will be the subject of another series of changes.
