apparmor: allow SYS_CAP_RESOURCE to be sufficient to prlimit another task
While using AppArmor, SYS_CAP_RESOURCE is insufficient to call prlimit on another task. The only other example of a AppArmor mediating access to another, already running, task (ignoring fork+exec) is ptrace. The AppArmor model for ptrace is that one of the following must be true: 1) The tracer is unconfined 2) The tracer is in complain mode 3) The tracer and tracee are confined by the same profile 4) The tracer is confined but has SYS_CAP_PTRACE 1), 2, and 3) are already true for setrlimit. We can match the ptrace model just by allowing CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. We still test the values of the rlimit since it can always be overridden using a value that means unlimited for a particular resource.
