oom: select task from tasklist for mempolicy ooms
The oom killer presently kills current whenever there is no more memory
free or reclaimable on its mempolicy's nodes. There is no guarantee that
current is a memory-hogging task or that killing it will free any
substantial amount of memory, however.
In such situations, it is better to scan the tasklist for nodes that are
allowed to allocate on current's set of nodes and kill the task with the
highest badness() score. This ensures that the most memory-hogging task,
or the one configured by the user with /proc/pid/oom_adj, is always
selected in such scenarios.
