oom: prevent livelock when oom_kill_allocating_task is set
When /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task is set for large systems that
want to avoid the lengthy tasklist scan, it's possible to livelock if
current is ineligible for oom kill. This normally happens when it is set
to OOM_DISABLE, but is also possible if any threads are sharing the same
->mm with a different tgid.
So change __out_of_memory() to fall back to the full task-list scan if it
was unable to kill `current'.
