I don't understand why this is necessary, CONSTRAINT_NONE should be
available to proc_oom_score() via linux/oom.h. It would probably be
better to not rename badness() and use it directly.

Why is this renamed from constrained_alloc()? If the new code is really a
guess, we probably shouldn't be altering the oom killing behavior to kill
innocent tasks if it's wrong.

This could probably be written as
int nid;
if (nodemask)
for_each_node_mask(nid, *nodemask)
if (!__cpuset_node_allowed_softwall(nid, gfp_mask))
return CONSTRAINT_CPUSET;
and then you don't need the struct zoneref or struct zone.
