[PATCH 1/2] mm: do not limit VmData with RLIMIT_DATA

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com>]

This partially reverts 84638335900f ("mm: rework virtual memory accounting")

Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk region.
But that change have caused problems with all existing versions of valgrind
because they set RLIMIT_DATA to zero for some reason.

More over, current check has a major flaw: RLIMIT_DATA in bytes,
not pages. So, some problems might have slipped through testing.
Let's revert it for now and put back in next release.
