This patch still makes my head hurt.
The obvious wrong things I have mentioned below.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I understand moving this lock by why renaming it?

Arguably this is misnamed MMF_MULTIPROCESS is probably better.
The comment is definitely wrong.

The copying and the setting of a bit on a mm should be logically
separate things.
This really makes my head hurt because the functionality is not
separated out. I don't have a clue how we could maintain this
copy_oom_score_adj function.
