Tetsuo Handa 77ed2c5745 android,lowmemorykiller: Don't abuse TIF_MEMDIE.
Currently, lowmemorykiller (LMK) is using TIF_MEMDIE for two purposes.
One is to remember processes killed by LMK, and the other is to
accelerate termination of processes killed by LMK.

But since LMK is invoked as a memory shrinker function, there still
should be some memory available. It is very likely that memory
allocations by processes killed by LMK will succeed without using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via TIF_MEMDIE. Even if their allocations cannot
escape from memory allocation loop unless they use ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS,
lowmem_deathpending_timeout can guarantee forward progress by choosing
next victim process.

On the other hand, mark_oom_victim() assumes that it must be called with
oom_lock held and it must not be called after oom_killer_disable() was
called. But LMK is calling it without holding oom_lock and checking
oom_killer_disabled. It is possible that LMK calls mark_oom_victim()
due to allocation requests by kernel threads after current thread
returned from oom_killer_disabled(). This will break synchronization
for PM/suspend.

This patch introduces per a task_struct flag for remembering processes
killed by LMK, and replaces TIF_MEMDIE with that flag. By applying this
patch, assumption by mark_oom_victim() becomes true.
