Yes, the expected value should be complement of the allocation to the
limit when reclaim is allowed.

FTR, the test_memcg_low fails after the fix still (6.3.1-2-default)
because of nonzero memory.events:low in the unprotected A/B/E group
(with memory_recursiveprot).
(That's another and long standing issues -- perhaps the reason why this
issue was hidden.)

Thanks,
Michal
