Just so we don't ping-pong in another submission:

I changed memcontrol.h's memcg_kmem_newpage_charge to include:

        /* If the test is dying, just let it go. */
        if (unlikely(test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)
                     || fatal_signal_pending(current)))
                return true;
