Log:
  Try to avoid ambiguity when sysctl returns ENOMEM additionally
  checking the returned oldlen: when ENOMEM is due to the supplied
  buffer being too short the return oldlen is equal to buffer size.
  
  Without this additional check kvm_getprocs() gets stuck in loop if the
  returned ENOMEM was due the exceeded memorylocked limit. This is
  easily can be observed running `limits -l 1k top'.
