We even don't need to check arg excepting for < 0, because what is
needed is rlimt_t and not arg. So this version will be better:

rlimt_t targ;

if (arg < 0) {
    errno = EINVAL;
    return (-1);
}
targ = arg;
if (targ > RLIM_INFINITY / 512)
    targ = RLIM_INFINITY / 512;
limit.rlim_max = limit.rlim_cur = targ * 512
