[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/setrlimit03.c: read /proc/sys/fs/nr_open for RLIMIT_NOFILE limit

From: Tommi Rantala <tommi.t.rantala@nokia.com>

Since kernel v2.6.25 RLIMIT_NOFILE limit is no longer hardcoded to
NR_OPEN, but can be set via /proc/sys/fs/nr_open, see kernel commit
9cfe015aa424b3c003baba3841a60dd9b5ad319b ("get rid of NR_OPEN and
introduce a sysctl_nr_open").

nr_open default value is 1024*1024, so setrlimit03 has been passing fine
on new kernels, only "unexpectedly succeeding" if nr_open is set to some
larger value.
