I understand how this may make your test case pass, but I simply don't 
understand how this could possibly be the correct thing to do.  This would 
cause oom_badness() to return 0 for any process where a thread has 
TIF_MEMDIE set.  If the oom killer is called from the page allocator, 
kills a thread, and it is recalled before that thread may exit, then this 
will panic the system if there are no other eligible processes to kill.
