Ugh.  The identifier `security_vm_enough_memory()' sounds like some
predicate which has no side-effects.  Except it performs accounting.  Hence
bugs like this.

It's a shame that you mixed a largeish cleanup along with a bugfix - please
don't do that in future.

Patch looks OK to me.  Hugh, could you please double-check sometime?
