ci: explicitly change oom-{score}-adj before running tests

For some reason root in GH actions is able to _decrease_ its oom score
even after dropping all capabilities (including CAP_SYS_RESOURCE), until
the oom score is changed explicitly after sudo:

$ systemd-detect-virt
microsoft
$ sudo su -
~# capsh --drop=all -- -c 'capsh --print; grep -H . /proc/self/oom*; choom -p $$ -n -101'
Current: =
Bounding set =
Ambient set =
Current IAB: !cap_chown,!cap_dac_override,!cap_dac_read_search,...,!cap_sys_resource,...,!cap_checkpoint_restore

~# choom -p $$ -n 500
pid 22027's OOM score adjust value changed from 500 to 500
~# capsh --drop=all -- -c 'capsh --print; grep -H . /proc/self/oom*; choom -p $$ -n -101'
Current: =

Ambient set =

/proc/self/oom_adj:8
/proc/self/oom_score:1000
/proc/self/oom_score_adj:500
choom: failed to set score adjust value: Permission denied

I have no idea what's going on, but it breaks
exec-oomscoreadjust-negative.service from test-execute when running
unprivileged.
