based on oom-introduce-find_lock_task_mm-to-fix-mm-false-positives.patch
tested on mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2010-06-11-16-40.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When the OOM killer scans task, it check a task is under memcg or
not when it's called via memcg's context.
But, as Oleg pointed out, a thread group leader may have NULL ->mm
and task_in_mem_cgroup() may do wrong decision. We have to use
find_lock_task_mm() in memcg as generic OOM-Killer does.
