Subject: [PATCH 3/3] exec: Pin stack limit during exec

Since the stack rlimit is used in multiple places during exec and
it can be changed via other threads (via setrlimit()) or processes
(via prlimit()), the assumption that the value doesn't change cannot
be made. This leads to races with mm layout selection and argument size
calculations. This changes the exec path to use the rlimit stored in bprm
instead of in current. Before starting the thread, the bprm stack rlimit
is stored back to current.
