[PATCH 5.16 0074/1017] mm/mlock: fix two bugs in user_shm_lock()

From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com>

commit e97824ff663ce3509fe040431c713182c2f058b1 upstream.

user_shm_lock forgets to set allowed to 0 when get_ucounts fails. So the
later user_shm_unlock might do the extra dec_rlimit_ucounts. Also in the
RLIM_INFINITY case, user_shm_lock will success regardless of the value of
memlock where memblock == LONG_MAX && !capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK) should fail.
Fix all of these by changing the code to leave lock_limit at ULONG_MAX aka
RLIM_INFINITY, leave "allowed" initialized to 0 and remove the special case
of RLIM_INFINITY as nothing can be greater than ULONG_MAX.

Credit goes to Eric W. Biederman for proposing simplifying the code and
thus catching the later bug.

Fixes: d7c9e99aee48 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on top of ucounts")
