After commit 0e4b01df8659 ("mm, memcg: throttle allocators when
failing reclaim over memory.high") allocating memory over memory.high
became very time consuming. But it's exactly what the memory.high
test from cgroup kselftests is doing: it tries to allocate 100M with
30M memory.high value. It takes forever to complete.

In order to keep it passing (or failing) in a reasonable amount of
time let's try to allocate only a little over 30M: 31M to be precise.

With this change test_memcontrol finishes in a reasonable amount of
time:
  $ time ./test_memcontrol
  ok 1 test_memcg_subtree_control
  ok 2 test_memcg_current
  ok 3 test_memcg_min
  ok 4 test_memcg_low
  ok 5 test_memcg_high
  ok 6 test_memcg_max
  ok 7 test_memcg_oom_events
  ok 8 test_memcg_swap_max
  ok 9 test_memcg_sock
  ok 10 test_memcg_oom_group_leaf_events
  ok 11 test_memcg_oom_group_parent_events
  ok 12 test_memcg_oom_group_score_events
