oom: filter tasks not sharing the same cpuset
Tasks that do not share the same set of allowed nodes with the task that
triggered the oom should not be considered as candidates for oom kill.
Tasks in other cpusets with a disjoint set of mems would be unfairly
penalized otherwise because of oom conditions elsewhere; an extreme
example could unfairly kill all other applications on the system if a
single task in a user's cpuset sets itself to OOM_DISABLE and then uses
more memory than allowed.
Killing tasks outside of current's cpuset rarely would free memory for
current anyway. To use a sane heuristic, we must ensure that killing a
task would likely free memory for current and avoid needlessly killing
others at all costs just because their potential memory freeing is
unknown. It is better to kill current than another task needlessly.
