mm, oom_reaper: hide oom reaped tasks from OOM killer more carefully
Commit 36324a99 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space") not only clears TIF_MEMDIE for oom reaped task but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the oom killer. This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for (unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes (as they do not share signal struct). If the mm had only small amount of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation. Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set. Set the flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task. This will force the select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as no such task is sacrificed for its parent.
