Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] fix a dead loop when in heavy low memory
Android System UI hang when run heavy monkey stress test.
Run this monkey stress test script with more than 100
apps/games installed:
adb shell "monkey --ignore-crashes --ignore-timeouts
--kill-process-after-error --ignore-security-exceptions
--throttle 200 -v 20000000"

when this happened, the android system UI will hang, no process can be
select to kill.
i found the the value of "lowmem_deathpending_timeout" will be modified
strangely, like in last killing, the value is 4296194081, but why not it
had changed to 4296195109? so it will cause the deadloop in low memory
state which will cause the android system UI hang, because no process will
be kill.
commit e5d7965f88a3 ("staging: android: lowmemorykiller: Don't wait more
than one second for a process to die") said wait 1 seconds, i think it no
need to wait 1 second, because we don't select the process with
"TIF_MEMDIE" to kill.
