Swapoff ENOMEM means that there is too much anonymous memory allocated
for it to be fit into RAM.

E.g. if you have tmpfs or md(4) swap backed disks which consume too
much space, you will get this error.  Another possibility is some
process which is still alive at the swapoff point, consuming enough
anon memory.
