High: This setup makes the affected 100 MB child report pass instead of
exposing the approximately 64 MB getrusage(2) result. That is a kernel bug
workaround; keep the test migratable so the incorrect result remains visible.

Medium: cpu_set_t cannot represent valid CPU IDs of CPU_SETSIZE or higher, so
CPU_SET() leaves the mask empty and sched_setaffinity() fails with EINVAL.
Use a dynamically allocated mask with CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(tst_ncpus_max()) and the
CPU_ZERO_S()/CPU_SET_S() interfaces.
