I don't think your patch is appropriate. It avoids hitting WARN(1) but does not avoid
unnecessary killing of OOM victims.

If you look at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashLog&x=15a1c770400000 , you will
notice that both 23766 and 23767 are killed due to task_will_free_mem(current) == false.
This is "unnecessary killing of additional processes".
