Subject: [PATCH 07/10] mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

task_will_free_mem is rather weak. It doesn't really tell whether
the task has chance to drop its mm. 98748bd72200 ("oom: consider
multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step
into making it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we
know that the whole process is going down and probably drop the mm.

This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared
between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in
kernel use_mm().

Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting. This
will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because
task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now. Therefore all paths
which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock
up the oom killer.

Changes since v2 - per Oleg
- uninline task_will_free_mem and move it to oom proper
- reorganize checks in and simplify __task_will_free_mem
- add missing process_shares_mm in task_will_free_mem
- add same_thread_group to task_will_free_mem for clarity
