Subject: [RFC] memcg, oom: clean up mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize

Since commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to
the charge path"), only oom_kill_disable is set, oom killer will
be delayed to page fault path. In the charge patch, even if the
oom_lock in memcg can't be acquired, the oom handing can also be
invoked. In order to keep the behavior consistent with it, remove
the lock check, just leave oom_kill_disable check behind in the
page fault path.

Furthermore, the lock contender won't be scheduled out, this doesn't
fit the sixth description in commit fb2a6fc56be66 ("mm: memcg:
rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup"). So remove the explicit
wakeup for the lock holder.

Fixes: fb2a6fc56be6 ("mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup")
