[LTP] [PATCH] ioctl_sg01: Increase chance of detecting data leak

Can we please check this againts system free memory?

While it's not likely there may be system that have less that 256MB of
free RAM.

Also when we do check system memory, we can scale up with available
memory as well and dirty 1GB or more on, which is not that much on
modern systems.

Also perhaps it may be a good idea to put this code into a library
function.

Can we put this part into a seprate patch please?
