Subject: [patch 0/5] oom: a few anti fork bomb patches

Hi

I'm backed. Andrey's (attached) fork bomb testcase effectively kill
my machine when swap is disabled. therefore, I've made a few anti andrey
test patches.

This patches only avoid kernel livelock. they doesn't genocide fork-bombs.
Kamezawa-san is trying such effort.

comments are welcome.
