Yes they are not but does that matter? Do we want _all_ or only some oom
kills being counted.

Well, the situation with mm shared between different memcgs is always
hairy. We try to charge mm->owner but I suspect we are not consistent in
that. I would have to double check because it's been a long ago since
I've investigated that. My point is that once you count OOM kills you
should count all the tasks IMHO.
