rlimit: Rewrite non-sensical RLIMIT_CPU comment
The comment above the function which arms RLIMIT_CPU in the posix CPU timer
code makes no sense at all. It claims that the kernel does not return an
error code when it rejected the attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU. That's clearly
bogus as the code does an error check and the rlimit is only set and
activated when the permission checks are ok. In case of a rejection an
appropriate error code is returned.

This is a historical and outdated comment which got dragged along even when
the rlimit handling code was rewritten.

Replace it with an explanation why the setup function is not called when
the rlimit value is RLIM_INFINITY and how the 'disarming' is handled.
