cryptsetup-generator: set high OOM score for systemd-cryptsetup instances
With new LUKS2 header format it is possible to use Argon2 key derivation
function. This function is "memory-hard" hence keyslot unlocking can
potentially use a lot of RAM as this increases resistance to massively
parallel GPU based password cracking.
However, when multiple systemd-cryptsetup binaries run at the same
time it is very likely that system using Argon2 (e.g. Fedora 30)
will encounter memory-pressure during early boot, following OOM killing
spree.
This patch aims to lower the damage done by OOM killer and sets OOMScore
for systemd-cryptsetup units to 500. Hopefully OOM killer will then
shoot us down and leave rest of the system services alone.
