New Revision: 244383

Log:
- Set memorylocked limit to 64Kb for default login class.
This prevents unprivileged users to lock too much memory.
- Set memorylocked limit to 64Mb for daemon login class.
Some daemons such as amd(8) and watchdogd(8) calls mlockall(2) on
startup, they are run from init(8) which uses daemon login class.
- Set memorylocked limit to unlimited for root login class.

I think you should not MFC this one quickly -- let's wait for it to shake out
in the -CURRENT userbase for a few months to see what breaks. I wouldn't be
surprised if a fair number of applications (both publicly available, and local
at various FreeBSD-using shops) are implicitly depending on their not being
limits to memorylocked by default. After an upgrade, they might find that
their applications simply stop working for potentially hard-to-debug reasons.
Or we might find no one notices -- but deferring an MFC will help give us a
better sense of which outcome is more likely.
