This is interesting. UDP is the only protocol which supports memory
accounting (i.e. udp_memory_allocated) but it does not define
memory_pressure. In addition, it does have sysctl_udp_mem. So
effectively UDP supports a hard limit and ignores memcg pressure at the
moment. This patch will change its behavior to consider memcg pressure
as well. I don't have any objection but let's get opinion of UDP
maintainer.
