[PATCH mmotm] mm, oom: reduce dependency on tasklist_lock: fix

From: Hugh Dickins <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-16 07:43:21
Also in: linux-mm

Slab poisoning gave me a General Protection Fault on the
	atomic_dec(&__task_cred(p)->user->processes);
line of release_task() called from wait_task_zombie(),
every time my dd to USB testing generated a memcg OOM.

oom_kill_process() now does the put_task_struct(),
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() should not repeat it.
