The MMF_OOM_SKIP bit is used to indicate weather a mm_struct can not be invalided or has already been invalided. exit_mmap currently calls __oom_reap_task_mm unconditionally despite the fact that the oom reaper may have already called this. Add a check for the MMF_OOM_SKIP bit being set in exit_mmap to avoid unnessary calls to the invalidate code. A slight race can occur on the MMF_OOM_SKIP bit that will still allow this to run twice. My testing has shown an ~66% decrease in double calls to _oom_reap_task_mm.
