Merge branch 'ucount-rlimit-fixes-for-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull ucounts fix from Eric Biederman:
 "Etienne Dechamps recently found a regression caused by enforcing
  RLIMIT_NPROC for root where the rlimit was not previously enforced.

  Michal Koutný had previously pointed out the inconsistency in
  enforcing the RLIMIT_NPROC that had been on the root owned process
  after the root user creates a user namespace.

  Which makes the fix for the regression simply removing the
  inconsistency"
