ucounts: Enforce RLIMIT_NPROC not RLIMIT_NPROC+1

This can be fixed either by fixing the test or by moving the increment
to be before the test. Fix it my moving copy_creds which contains
the increment before is_ucounts_overlimit.
In the case of CLONE_NEWUSER the ucounts in the task_cred changes.
The function is_ucounts_overlimit needs to use the final version of
the ucounts for the new process. Which means moving the
is_ucounts_overlimit test after copy_creds is necessary.
Both the test in fork and the test in set_user were semantically
changed when the code moved to ucounts. The change of the test in
fork was bad because it was before the increment. The test in
set_user was wrong and the change to ucounts fixed it. So this
fix only restores the old behavior in one lcation not two.
