[PATCH] selftests: core: Fix unshare_test on systems with max nr_open

[Jin Li]

When nr_open is already set to INT_MAX, nr_open + 1024 overflows
and causes setrlimit to fail. This happens on systems where
fs.nr_open has been configured to its maximum value.

Add a check to detect this condition. If nr_open is near INT_MAX,
skip increasing fs.nr_open and use a fallback value of 1048576
for RLIMIT_NOFILE instead, which is large enough for the test.

This fixes the test failure on systems with maxed-out nr_open.
