rlimits: split sys_setrlimit
Create do_setrlimit from sys_setrlimit and declare do_setrlimit in the resource header. This is the first phase to have generic do_prlimit which allows to be called from read, write and compat rlimits code. The new do_setrlimit also accepts a task pointer to change the limits of. Currently, it cannot be other than current, but this will change with locking later. Also pass tsk->group_leader to security_task_setrlimit to check whether current is allowed to change rlimits of the process and not its arbitrary thread because it makes more sense given that rlimit are per process and not per-thread.
