With apologies for ed scripts,

ed kernel/sys.c <<'EOF'
/struct rlimit r32/s/rlimit/compat_&/
w
q
EOF

AFAICS, that should fix it. If it does, commit message would be

fix a braino in compat_sys_getrlimit()

Fixes: commit d9e968cb9f84 "getrlimit()/setrlimit(): move compat to native"

Again, my apologies for format of that all - I'm almost completely
off-net and while typing an ed script is feasible, context diff is
too far over the top. Usimg mutt in ssh session from android is
not fun, to put it mildly...
