Subject: [PATCH 3.12 003/146] oom_kill: has_intersects_mems_allowed() needs rcu_read_lock()

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit ad96244179fbd55b40c00f10f399bc04739b8e1f upstream.

At least out_of_memory() calls has_intersects_mems_allowed() without
even rcu_read_lock(), this is obviously buggy.

Add the necessary rcu_read_lock().  This means that we can not simply
return from the loop, we need "bool ret" and "break".

While at it, swap the names of task_struct's (the argument and the
local).  This cleans up the code a little bit and avoids the unnecessary
initialization.
