fillram isn't effective for filling the memory in Jessie

For instance, when running erase_memory.feature with a feature/jessie-based Tails image, we end up covering less than 55% of the ram in the “old computer” scenarios, despite there still being ~1300 MiB of free (non-buffer, non-cache) memory. This is getting too low and doesn’t feel reliable any more, IMHO.
