oom_scan_process_thread() returns OOM_SCAN_SELECT when there is a thread which returns oom_task_origin() == true. But it is possible that such thread is marked as OOM-unkillable. In that case, the OOM killer must not select such process. Since it is meaningless to return OOM_SCAN_OK for OOM-unkillable process because subsequent oom_badness() call will return 0, this patch changes oom_scan_process_thread to return OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE if that process is marked as OOM-unkillable (regardless of oom_task_origin()).
