    After investigation the problem turned out to be that ucount_max for
    the rlimits in init_user_ns was being set to the initial rlimit value.
    The practical problem is that ucount_max provides a limit that
    applications inside the user namespace can not exceed.  Which means in
    practice that rlimits that have been converted to use the ucount
    infrastructure were not able to exceend their initial rlimits.
    
    Solve this by setting the relevant values of ucount_max to
    RLIM_INIFINITY.  A limit in init_user_ns is pointless so the code
    should allow the values to grow as large as possible without riscking
    an underflow or an overflow.
    
    As the ltp test case was a bit of a pain I have reproduced the rlimit failure
    and tested the fix with the following little C program:

    > #include <fcntl.h>
    > #include <sys/stat.h>
    > #include <mqueue.h>
    > #include <sys/time.h>
    > #include <sys/resource.h>
    > #include <errno.h>
    > #include <string.h>
    > #include <stdlib.h>
    > #include <limits.h>
    > #include <unistd.h>

    > 		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    > 	rlim.rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY;
    > 	rlim.rlim_max = RLIM_INFINITY;
    > 	ret = setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE, &rlim);
    > 	if (ret != 0) {
    > 		fprintf(stderr, "setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE, RLIM_INFINITY) failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
