mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+f

Browse Source 
The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if:

 - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit,
   and

 - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and
   is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory.

SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging
task.  This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no
progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself.

For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer.  This
patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to
force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.
