In update_rlimit_cpu use lock_task_sighand instead of unconditionally
grabbing sighand->siglock (because without tasklist_lock sighand might
be NULL).

this ended up being a minor complication, since update_rlimit_cpu() could fail if the task was exiting, but i think i sorted it out.

i'll send out revised patchset shortly with this change, including making do_prlimit() static.

thanks,
