  1. memcg_stress_test.sh: fix Available memory formula

    In NUMA architecture, Sometimes too many node nodes will cause the system to retain too much free memory. Make the value of "memFree" in the /proc /meminfo file greater than the real available value. This resulted in memory over allocation (OOM) for this test.
    
    For example, this is a arm server‘s content of /proc/meminfo which has 128 cpus and 16 nodes :
    # cat /proc/meminfo 
    MemTotal:  		536018688 kB
    MemFree:		512151936 kB
    MemAvailable:		472947264 kB
    Buffers:		   8384 kB
    Cached:		1789376 kB
    SwapCached:		      0 KB
    Active:		1924288 kB
    Inactive:		1445888 kB
    Active(anom):		1608832 kB
    Inactive(amon)	  40512 kB
    Active(file):		 315456 kB
    Inactive(file):     1405376 kB
    Unevictable:		  31744 KB
    ....
    
    Therefore, it is suggested to change the "memFree" in the calculation formula to "memavailable". Of course, this will give the system more memory pressure, but also the script reserve half of the swap to alleviate this problem.
