[PATCH] select_bad_process(): kill a bogus PF_DEAD/TASK_DEAD check
The only one usage of TASK_DEAD outside of last schedule path,
select_bad_process:
for_each_task(p) {
if (!p->mm)
continue;
...
if (p->state == TASK_DEAD)
continue;
...
TASK_DEAD state is set at the end of do_exit(), this means that p->mm
was already set == NULL by exit_mm(), so this task was already rejected
by 'if (!p->mm)' above.
Note also that the caller holds tasklist_lock, this means that p can't
pass exit_notify() and then set TASK_DEAD when p->mm != NULL.
Also, remove open-coded is_init().
