mm: enable RLIMIT_DATA by default with workaround for valgrind
Since commit 84638335 ("mm: rework virtual memory accounting") RLIMIT_DATA limits both brk() and private mmap() but this's disabled by default because of incompatibility with older versions of valgrind. Valgrind always set limit to zero and fails if RLIMIT_DATA is enabled. Fortunately it changes only rlim_cur and keeps rlim_max for reverting limit back when needed. This patch checks current usage also against rlim_max if rlim_cur is zero. This is safe because task anyway can increase rlim_cur up to rlim_max. Size of brk is still checked against rlim_cur, so this part is completely compatible - zero rlim_cur forbids brk() but allows private mmap().
