When running the Memory Controller test # 4, I'm seeing this behavior below.

*** infinite loop here, script exists memctl_test01 remains running ***
^Cincrementing stop

The bash error is due to the 'grep -w "active"' not matching anything so one of the variables isn't getting set like it is supposed to. I believe the test was written with an old version of the memory controller what put a field called memory.stat.active in the file memory.stat. The current memory controller I am testing appears to have replaced this field with "rss". There are fields showing anonymous and file backed pages in memory.stat, but I don't think they are ever going to match the memory.usage.in.bytes the test is looking for. Rss always matches and I believe that is what we should update the check in the test to look for. The attached patch fixes test #4 to compare memory.usage.in.bytes with rss.
