If mm->mm_users is not incremented because it is already zero by the oom
reaper, meaning the final refcount has been dropped, do not set
MMF_OOM_SKIP prematurely.
__mmput() may not have had a chance to do exit_mmap() yet, so memory from
a previous oom victim is still mapped. __mput() naturally requires no
references on mm->mm_users to do exit_mmap().
Without this, several processes can be oom killed unnecessarily and the
oom log can show an abundance of memory available if exit_mmap() is in
progress at the time the process is skipped.
