As it happens, my top-of-tree snapshot is missing this routine.  I'm
re-snapping it now but I think you're right that it's a merge issue with
linux-next.  The fix, however, is trivial:  Replace the entire if block
with the line:
	update_rlimit_cpu(rlim->rlim_cur);

The above snippet becomes:

       if (rc) {
                for (i = 0; i < RLIM_NLIMITS; i++) {
                        rlim = current->signal->rlim + i;
                        initrlim = init_task.signal->rlim+i;
                        rlim->rlim_cur = min(rlim->rlim_max, initrlim->rlim_cur);
                }
                update_rlimit_cpu(rlim->rlim_cur);
        }

And double-check that linux/posix-timers.h is being #included around
line 80.
