posix-cpu-timers: Ensure set_process_cpu_timer is always evaluated
Commit a9445e47 ("posix-cpu-timers: Make set_process_cpu_timer() more robust") moved the check into the 'if' statement. Unfortunately, it did so on the right side of an && which means that it may get short circuited and never evaluated. This is easily reproduced with: $ cat loop.c void main() { struct rlimit res; /* set the CPU time limit */ getrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU,&res); res.rlim_cur = 2; res.rlim_max = 2; setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU,&res); while (1); } Which will hang forever instead of being killed. Fix this by pulling the evaluation out of the if statement but checking the return value instead.
