I think you need to remove the RLIMIT_DATA accounting altogether. Assume
it is not an issue for now and revisit latter when it becomes one as i
am not sure we want to add this queue memory accounting to RLIMIT_DATA
in the first place. Maybe a memory cgroup. In anycases it is safer to
delay this discussion to latter.
