Hrmm, I am assuming it was missed because the profile replacement that
causes the prepare_creds() to be called is a rare condition when apparmor
is in use.  It will only occur when policy has been replaced and only if
the task doing the task_setrlimit() hasn't already updated its cred else
where.  It is clearly wrong, patch included below.

Subject: [PATCH] AppArmor: Fix sleep in invalid context from task_setrlimit

Affected kernels 2.6.36 - 3.0

AppArmor may do a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation with task_lock(tsk->group_leader);
held when called from security_task_setrlimit.  This will only occur when the
task's current policy has been replaced, and the task's creds have not been
updated before entering the LSM security_task_setrlimit() hook.
