Why do you want to not boost priority if it's path of memcontrol?

If it's path of memcontrol and CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR is enabled,
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory will select victim task in memcg.
So __oom_kill_task's target task would be in memcg, I think.

As you and memcg guys don't complain this, I would be missing something.
Could you explain it? :)
