mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()
task_will_free_mem is rather weak. It doesn't really tell whether the task has chance to drop its mm. 98748bd72200 ("oom: consider multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the whole process is going down and probably drop the mm. This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel use_mm(). Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting. This will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now. Therefore all paths which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up the oom killer.
