[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/3] lib: add functions to adjust oom score

[Li Wang]

This introduces function to LTP for adjusting the oom_score_adj of
target process, which may be helpful in OOM tests to prevent kernel
killing the main or lib process during test running.

The exported global tst_enable_oom_protection function can be used
at anywhere you want to protect, but please remember that if you
do enable protection on a process($PID) that all the children will
inherit its score and be ignored by OOM Killer as well. So that's
why tst_cancel_oom_protection is recommended to combination in use.
