This comment and the code aren't matching.  CAP_SYS_RESOUCE now means
effective on any other process, which it never did before.  That should
be given careful thought.  CAP_SYS_PTRACE indeed would let you call
get/setrlimit in traced task, perhaps that what you meant?

Do not call copy_to_user() with tasklist_lock held.  Also, this is the
same basic code as sys_getrlimit().  So they should share code. (IOW,
sys_getrlimit() is now really sys_getprlimit(0,...))
