[PATCH v2] mm: warn about VmData over RLIMIT_DATA

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com>]

This patch fixes 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 it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.

This patch fixes RLIMIT_DATA check (limit actually in bytes, not pages)
and by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse.
Like: "VmData 516096 exceeds RLIMIT_DATA 512000"

Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data. For now it set to "y".
