[LTP] [PATCH v3 2/3] lib: enable OOM protection for ltp lib process

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

We do protect ltp-lib ($PID) process from killing by OOM Killer,
hope this can help to get the completed correct report for all of
LTP tests.

This achieve by invoking tst_enable_oom_protection in tst_run_tcases,
at the same time, we purposely disabling the protection for children
in fork_testrun, to avoid the oom score inherit by testcase.

Fundamental principle:

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