[PATCH V6 10/10] vhost: use user_worker to check RLIMITs

For vhost workers we use the kthread API which inherit's its values from
and checks against the kthreadd thread. This results in the wrong RLIMITs
being checked. This patch has us use the user_worker helpers which will
inherit its values/checks from the thread that owns the device similar to
if we did a clone in userspace.
