Upgrade session before quota exceedes

Hi Denis,

you did everything correctly. The problem is actually that core's RM
service misses to catch the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception. The
attached patch rectifies this. In your test program, you need to catch
'Region_map::Out_of_metadata' instead of 'Allocator::Out_of_memory'.
With this minor change, the test passes.

Thank you very much for pointing us to this problem and for the
super-convenient test case! :-)

Cheers
Norman
