kernel core: use helpers for rlimits
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them
twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented.
I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource:
add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.
