Pull ucounts fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "There has been one very hard to track down bug in the ucount code that
  we have been tracking since roughly v5.14 was released. Alex managed
  to find a reliable reproducer a few days ago and then I was able to
  instrument the code and figure out what the issue was.

  It turns out the sigqueue_alloc single atomic operation optimization
  did not play nicely with ucounts multiple level rlimits. It turned out
  that either sigqueue_alloc or sigqueue_free could be operating on
  multiple levels and trigger the conditions for the optimization on
  more than one level at the same time.

  To deal with that situation I have introduced inc_rlimit_get_ucounts
  and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts that just focuses on the optimization and
  the rlimit and ucount changes.

  While looking into the big bug I found I couple of other little issues
  so I am including those fixes here as well.

  When I have time I would very much like to dig into process ownership
  of the shared signal queue and see if we could pick a single owner for
  the entire queue so that all of the rlimits can count to that owner.
  That should entirely remove the need to call get_ucounts and
  put_ucounts in sigqueue_alloc and sigqueue_free. It is difficult
  because Linux unlike POSIX supports setuid that works on a single
  thread"
