oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLE

Browse Source 
This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is
only necessary to hold task_lock() once.  If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the
score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score.
This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from
being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future
memory freeing anyway.

Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is
no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the
same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other
thread groups).
