Maybe use tst_enable_oom_protection(0) here is better.

That's right. But from the code logic, seems it try to protect the
madvise06 from being killed by OOM. So enabling the oom
protection in the test library also has the same effect because
children(madvise06) will inherit the score.
However, I agree that we shouldn't add the oom_score_adj"
knob in .svae_restore since that might bring more confusion
to users.
