E.g. oom_task_origin() doesn't seem to depend on it for task->signal safety. If you are referring to races with changing oom_score_adj does such a race matter at all? To me this looks like a reasonable cleanup because we _know_ that OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN means OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE and do not really have to go down to oom_badness to find that out.
