David Rientjes fb794bcbb4 mm, oom: remove unnecessary exit_state check
The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible
for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of
concurrent memory freeing.  It will abort when an eligible process is
found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and
we're waiting for it to exit.

Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they
are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing
them would not lead to memory freeing.  That memory is only freed after
exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to
NULL.

Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process
is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has
returned.  This was fragile in the past because it relied on
exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE
processes.
