exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()

kees · torvalds · commit 04e35f4495dd · 2017-11-29T18:40:42.000-08:00
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.
