When application in userland receives oom notification from kernel and reads the oom_control file, it's confusing that under_oom is 0 though the omm killer hasn't finished. The reason is that under_oom is cleared before invoking mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(), so move the action that unmark under_oom after completing oom handling. Therefore, the value of under_oom won't mislead users.
