[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] syscalls/msgstress04: fix fork failure on small memory systems

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Running syscalls/msgstress04 on a system with less than ~4 GB of RAM fails:

    Fork failure in the first child of child group 4396
    Fork failure in the second child of child group 4413
    msgstress04    1  TFAIL  :  msgstress04.c:222: Child exit status = 1

The reason is cgroups pid limit set by systemd user.slice.  The limit is
set for login session, also for root user.  For example on 2 GB RAM
machine it is set as:
    /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/pids.max:5207

Read the maximum number of pids and adjust the test limit.
