The kernel's default behaviour is to obstruct the allocation of high

Setting the parameter as OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS, ensures kernel isn't

denying a memory allocation request.
Which tests in particular require that?
This is applicable to the virtual address range selftest.
Subjects should start with "selftests/mm" instead of more generic
"selftests:"
I'll make the necessary changes.
