[LTP] [PATCH v2 2/2] memcg_stress: survive OOM by targeting the stressors

[Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.de>]

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

The single-cgroup subtest intentionally lets one process fault in the
whole memory budget to push the system to its memory ceiling, so hitting
the OOM killer is an expected part of the stress. The problem is that the
OOM killer could reap the driver script, turning that expected pressure
into a spurious TBROK.

Activate OOM protection so the driver script won't be the OOM victim.

Fixes: 02961a7b2bb4 ("memcg_stress_test.sh: Fix reserved mem calculate")
