I saw that, but _without_ that test you'd be left with just that
sigpending <= task_rlimit(t, RLIMIT_SIGPENDING)
and if task_rlimit() is LONG_MAX, then that means "no limits", so it is all ok.
IOW, afaik even _if_ sigpending ends up being LONG_MAX, the
conditional does the right thing without that "sigpending < LONG_MAX"
test.
