[PATCH 08/10] mm, oom: task_will_free_mem should skip oom_reaped tasks

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

0-day robot has encountered the following:
[   82.694232] Out of memory: Kill process 3914 (trinity-c0) score 167 or sacrifice child
[   82.695110] Killed process 3914 (trinity-c0) total-vm:55864kB, anon-rss:1512kB, file-rss:1088kB, shmem-rss:25616kB

[   82.717662] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:26900kB
[   82.725804] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:27296kB
[   82.739091] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:28148kB

oom_reaper is trying to reap the same task again and again. This
is possible only when the oom killer is bypassed because of
task_will_free_mem because we skip over tasks with MMF_OOM_REAPED
already set during select_bad_process. Teach task_will_free_mem to skip
over MMF_OOM_REAPED tasks as well because they will be unlikely to free
anything more.
