Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm: replace TIF_MEMDIE checks by tsk_is_oom_victim

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

TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
path. tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all tasks
(threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.
