But dumping oom unrelated process is useless and making confusion.
Do you have any suggestion? Instead, adding unkillable field?

How is this?

               task = find_lock_task_mm(p);
               if (!task)
                        /*
                         * Probably oom vs task-exiting race was happen and ->mm
                         * have been detached. thus there's no need to report them;
                         * they can't be oom killed anyway.
                         */
                        continue;
