Right now user_struct.mq_bytes that is currently used for checking
RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is unsigned log, but ucounts is signed int. The rlimit is
also unsigned long. If I migrate RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE to ucounts I will
decrease counter and possibly break backward compatibility. Technically,
it can be violated anyway.

linux/ipc/mqueue.c:376:

mq_bytes += mq_treesize;
spin_lock(&mq_lock);
if (u->mq_bytes + mq_bytes < u->mq_bytes ||
u->mq_bytes + mq_bytes > rlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE)) {
spin_unlock(&mq_lock);
/* mqueue_evict_inode() releases info->messages */
ret = -EMFILE;
goto out_inode;
}
u->mq_bytes += mq_bytes;
spin_unlock(&mq_lock);
