Subject: [PATCH 01/10] oom: don't try to kill oom_unkillable child

Now, badness() doesn't care neigher CPUSET nor mempolicy. Then
if the victim child process is oom_unkillable()==1, __out_of_memory()
can makes kernel hang eventually.

This patch fixes it.


[remark: this is needed to fold "oom: sacrifice child with highest
badness score for parent"]
