Running cpuacct_100_100 on a system with less than ~4 GB of RAM fails:

    cpuacct 1 TINFO: timeout per run is 0h 5m 0s
    cpuacct 1 TINFO: cpuacct: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
    cpuacct 1 TINFO: Creating 100 subgroups each with 100 processes
    testcases/bin/cpuacct.sh: 0: Cannot fork

In dmesg:

    LTP: starting cpuacct_100_100 (cpuacct.sh 100 100)
    cgroup: fork rejected by pids controller in /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope

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

Add a check for both free memory and maximum number of pids (when using
systemd) to skip the test.  Systems not using systemd might still fail.

Changes since v1:
1. Add checking for pids.
2. Accurately check the memory constraints.

I do not think that something as basic as awk on /proc/meminfo here will
fail...

I would still add some memory margin to the memneeded here. At least
add a hundred of megabytes before we do the check.

Huh, is this really needed? The test is supposed to run under root. The
user is supposed to login as a root or at least do 'su -' before
executing LTP anyways.

We should probably check if the $max * $mbprocess -ge 1000 or something
like that just in a case someone addds a test with large enough
$nbprocess.

It's still nice pattern to check for return values but if you insist, I
can drop it.

Sure.

Yeah, because even root sessions (user-0.slice) have the PID limit set
by systemd.

$ ssh root@....
$ grep . /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/*/*
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/cgroup.clone_children:0
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/notify_on_release:0
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/pids.current:5
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/pids.events:max 0
/sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-0.slice/pids.max:5207

Makes sense, optionally the check can be done always.

Thanks for the review!

I forgot to mention: that's a default Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system on 2 GB
RAM machine, with systemd 245.4-4ubuntu3.6.

Any further comments here or something to fix? I think there were no
objections to this patch, right?
