The rlimits for init_task are set to INIT_RLIMITS.
In INIT_RLIMITS RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is set to MQ_MAX_BYTES
So that definitely means that as the code is current constructed the
rlimit can not be effectively raised.
So it looks like we are just silly and preventing the initial rlimits
from being raised.
So we probably want to do something like:
