I guess the reason you only want to call it once is because otherwise
restoring the previous values won't work?

I think low_mem_killer_disable needs some more protection against
being called unexpectedly. At the moment, it is always called from
common_exit_handler to restore the previous values, but when listing
subtests the initial call to low_mem_killer_disable is skipped, which
means the uninitialised value of prev_adj_scores will be written to
the sysfs file.
