AppArmor: Fix security_task_setrlimit logic for 2.6.36 changes

2.6.36 introduced the abilitiy to specify the task that is having its
rlimits set. Update mediation to ensure that confined tasks can only
set their own group_leader as expected by current policy.

Add TODO note about extending policy to support setting other tasks
rlimits.
