[PATCH 4.19 11/37] prlimit: do_prlimit needs to have a speculation check

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 upstream.

do_prlimit() adds the user-controlled resource value to a pointer that
will subsequently be dereferenced.  In order to help prevent this
codepath from being used as a spectre "gadget" a barrier needs to be
added after checking the range.
