My suggestion was before I saw the 8/8 patch :)

We can make something like:

static inline bool is_nproc_overlimit(struct task_struct *task)
{
	return (task_ucounts(task) != &init_ucounts) &&
		!has_capability(task, CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) &&
		!has_capability(task, CAP_SYS_ADMIN);
}

In copy_process:

if (inc_rlimit_ucounts_overlimit(task_ucounts(p), UCOUNT_RLIMIT_NPROC, 1, rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC)) == LONG_MAX) {
	if (is_nproc_overlimit(p))
		goto bad_fork_cleanup_count;
}

In do_execveat_common:

if ((current->flags & PF_NPROC_CHECK) &&
    is_ucounts_overlimit(current_ucounts(), UCOUNT_RLIMIT_NPROC, rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC)) &&
    is_nproc_overlimit(current)) {
	retval = -EAGAIN;
	goto out_ret;
}
