Re: [PATCH 2/3] mm, oom: refactor oom_kill_process()

oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is

printing the debug information.  The second half is responsible for
sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.

This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the
second half: __oom_kill_process().

The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the
victim cgroup.  We don't need to print the debug information for the each
task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

This is pretty straight-forward.
