I.e. you write to /proc/pid1/oom_score_adj and get
/proc/pid2/oom_score_adj updated if pid1 and pid2 share mm?
IMO that looks unexpected from userspace pov.

May be, we'd better add mm->oom_score_adj and set it to the min
signal->oom_score_adj over all processes sharing it? This would
require iterating over all processes every time oom_score_adj gets
updated, but that's a slow path.
