Unless I am misunderstanding you, even root/root-proc can be hit by a
runaway, so the threads-max limits this globally which is great, but this
may lock-you out of being able to control the situation based on uid only.
Thus this patch gives root the ability to allow a certain pid to exceed the
threads-max limit, while all other pids are still limited.
Your comments are much appreciated!
Thanks!
