[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] memcg_stress_test.sh: fix memory usage

When this test was run on a 'swap-less' system, the max quantity of
memory to allocate for the test runners was wrongly set as the whole
amount of free memory.
This caused the test to fail badly without even properly cleanup all
the memcg related configurations, so impacting also a lot of following
memcg related test-cases. With this fix, when the available swap space
is zero, the test limit itself to use only half of all the available
free memory.
