oom: avoid killing a task if a thread sharing its mm cannot be killed
The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may
exit, free its memory, and allow the current context to allocate the
memory that triggered it in the first place. Thus, killing a task is
pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its
/proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value.
This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an
oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. If so, the thread cannot be killed
and oom_badness(p) returns 0, meaning it's unkillable.
