Subject: prlimit: do_prlimit needs to have a speculation check
Git-commit: 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11
Patch-mainline: v6.2-rc5
References: bsc#1209256 CVE-2017-5753

do_prlimit() adds the user-controlled resource value to a pointer that
will subsequently be dereferenced.  In order to help prevent this
codepath from being used as a spectre "gadget" a barrier needs to be
added after checking the range.
