Subject: [PATCH] sysctl_panic_on_oom broken

out_of_memory() does not panic when sysctl_panic_on_oom is set
if constrained_alloc() does not return CONSTRAINT_NONE.  Instead,
out_of_memory() kills the current process whenever constrained_alloc()
returns either CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY or CONSTRAINT_CPUSET.
This patch fixes this problem:
