Subject: [patch -mm v2] oom: exclude tasks with badness score of 0 from being
 selected

An oom_badness() score of 0 means "never kill" according to
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt, so exclude it from being selected for
kill.  These tasks have either detached their p->mm or are set to
OOM_DISABLE.

Also removes an unnecessary initialization of points to 0 in
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(), select_bad_process() does this already.
