Re: Suspend 2 merge:L 12/51: Disable OOM killer when suspending.

Hi!
When preparing the image, suspend eats all the memory in sight, both to
reduce the image size and to improve the reliability of our stats (We've
worked hard to make it work reliably under heavy load - 100+). Of course
this can result in the OOM killer being triggered, so this simple test
stops that happening.
andrew's shrink_all_memory should enable you to free memory without
hacking OOM killer, no?

If shrink_all_memory is broken... fix it.

Hmm, yes, something like this migh be usefull for BUG_ONs etc...
For consistency, right name is probably in_suspend(void).
