[LTP] [PATCH] getrusage03: mlock the memory area in consume_mb

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

Seems it trying to test without swap happen to guarantee less
disturbing for the ’->ru_maxrss‘ counting.

Therefore add mlock() to prevent that memory allocated by consume_mb
from being paged to the swap area.
