mm: add overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable
...
Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the
availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the
maximum usage of memory without swapping. With growing memory, the
1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse
for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB).
This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a
much finer grain.
