[LTP] [PATCH v2 2/3] lib: enable OOM protection for the main process

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

Here invoke OOM protection in fork_testrun, since it is the key point
to distiguish many process branches. We do protect main ($PID) process
from killing by OOM Killer, hope this can help to get the completed
correct report for all of LTP tests.

Fundamental principle:

                   ltp test harness --> library process
  (oom protection)   main --> tst_run_tcases --> ... --> fork_testrun
  (cancel protection)  testrun --> run_tests --> ... --> testname
                         child_test --> ... --> end

Notes:
    Changes v1->v2:
        * remove the protection for parent process as suggested by Martin
