Dear Maintainer,

$ cat /proc/$(pidof atop)/oom_score_adj
-999
$

This is highly unusual, and not justified. In no way atop is a critical
component, and if there is a memory leak in it, that lead it so so much
memory usage (because normally atop uses almost no memory), you are in a
really big trouble when using -999 adjustement. Just let it be killed,
and systemd handle restart of it.

Maybe giving it something like -100 oom score adjustuement would be ok,
but I think leaving it at zero (or maybe even slightly positive +100)
is the better way.
