I think this is fine, but a little strange to start an iteration that
never loops :) No objection to the patch but it could also be extracted
into a new mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() which actually scans the tasks in that
mem cgroup and then a wrapper that does the iteration that calls into it,
say, mem_cgroup_scan_tasks_tree().
