Umm.. It looks correct. but the nested complex if statement seems a bit ugly.
Instead, How about following?
note: it's untested.

Subject: Restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit
When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not
attempting to expand the stack by more than rlimit allows.
This fixes a bug caused by b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba "mm:
variable length argument support" and unmasked by
fc63cf237078c86214abcb2ee9926d8ad289da9b "exec: setup_arg_pages() fails
to return errors". This bug means when limiting the stack to less the
20*PAGE_SIZE (eg. 80K on 4K pages or 'ulimit -s 79') all processes will
be killed before they start. This is particularly bad with 64K pages,
where a ulimit below 1280K will kill every process.

Attempts to answer comments from Kosaki Motohiro.
Tested on PPC only, hence !CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP. Someone should
probably ACK for an arch with CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP.
As noted, stable needs the same patch, but 2.6.32 doesn't have the
rlimit() helper.
