Subject: [PATCH] mm/oom_kill: fix wild pointer in out_of_memory

From: Bin Lai <robinlai@...cent.com>

From: Bin Lai <robinlai@...cent.com>

The oc->chosen is used by oom implementation, and the caller does
not initialize this variable. If the tasks of memcg are all unkillable,
oom_evaluate_task cann't choose any task, and the oc->chosen will be
a wild pointer. So we should initialize oc->chosen before calling
oom_evaluate_task.
