Commit fe898e7862 (PR #1350) enables kernel memory accounting
for all cgroups created by libcontainer -- even if kmem limit is
not configured.
Kernel memory accounting is known to be broken in some kernels,
specifically the ones from RHEL7 (including RHEL 7.5). Those
kernels do not support kernel memory reclaim, and are prone to
oopses. Unconditionally enabling kmem acct on such kernels lead
to bugs, such as
* https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/1725
* https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61937
* https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/29638
This commit gives a way to compile runc without kernel memory setting
support. To do so, use something like
make BUILDTAGS="seccomp nokmem"
