setrlimit guest calls that affect memory resources (RLIMIT_{AS,DATA,STACK}) may interfere with QEMU internal memory management. They may result in QEMU lockup because mprotect call in page_unprotect would fail with ENOMEM error code, causing infinite loop of SIGSEGV. E.g. it happens when running libstdc++ testsuite for xtensa target on x86_64 host.
Don't call host setrlimit for memory-related resources.
