mm, oom: refactor oom_kill_process()

Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2.

This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an
ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity
of the workload.

Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now
resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection
algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also
much simpler and more straightforward.  So, hopefully, we can avoid having
long debates here, as we had with the full implementation.

As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and
complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward.

This patch (of 2):

oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is
responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and
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().
