I think changing this is going to give unintended results. run_vmtests.sh must
already be running as root. "sudo -u nobody" is deprivieging the test to run as
nobody. The rlimit is not enforced for root so this test must run unprivileged
to work. See man page for getrlimit():

  Since Linux 2.6.9, no limits are placed on the amount of memory that a
  privileged process may lock, and this limit instead governs the amount of
  memory that an unprivileged process may lock

So I think the correct fix is actually to install sudo on your CI.
