Eric W. Biederman cad4ea546b rlimit: Properly call security_task_setrlimit
Modify do_prlimit to call security_task_setrlimit passing the task
whose rlimit we are changing not the tsk->group_leader.

In general this should not matter as the lsms implementing
security_task_setrlimit apparmor and selinux both examine the
task->cred to see what should be allowed on the destination task.

That task->cred is shared between tasks created with CLONE_THREAD
unless thread keyrings are in play, in which case both apparmor and
selinux create duplicate security contexts.

So the only time when it will matter which thread is passed to
security_task_setrlimit is if one of the threads of a process performs
an operation that changes only it's credentials.  At which point if a
thread has done that we don't want to hide that information from the
lsms.

So fix the call of security_task_setrlimit.  With the removal
of tsk->group_leader this makes the code slightly faster,
more comprehensible and maintainable.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
