[CFT][PATCH] ucounts: Fix signal ucount refcounting

In commit fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter
increments for user accounting") Linus made a clever optimization to
how rlimits and the struct user_struct. Unfortunately that
optimization does not work in the obvious way when moved to nested
rlimits. The problem is that the last decrement of the per user
namespace per user sigpending counter might also be the last decrement
of the sigpending counter in the parent user namespace as well. Which
means that simply freeing the leaf ucount in __free_sigqueue is not
enough.

Maintain the optimization and handle the tricky cases by introducing
inc_rlimit_get_ucounts and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts.

By moving the entire optimization into functions that perform all of
the work it becomes possible to ensure that every level is handled
properly.

I wish we had a single user across all of the threads whose rlimit
could be charged so we did not need this complexity.

Fixes: d64696905554 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of ucounts")

With a lot of help from Alex who found a way I could reproduce this
I believe I have found the issue.

Could people who are seeing this issue test and verify this solves the
problem for them?
