Subject[PATCH 05/11] rlimits: allow setrlimit to non-current tasks
Date
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>

Add locking to allow setrlimit accept task parameter other than
current.

Namely, lock tasklist_lock for read and check whether the task
structure has sighand non-null. Do all the signal processing under
that lock still held.
