The oom_reaper tries to reclaim additional memory owned by the oom
victim. In __oom_reap_task_mm(), it uses mmu_gather for batched page
free. After oom_reaper was added, mmu_gather feature introduced
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_NO_GATHER (in 'commit 952a31c9e6fa ("asm-generic/tlb:
Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_MMU_GATHER_NO_GATHER=y")', an option to skip batched
page free. If set, tlb_batch_pages_flush(), which is responsible for
calling lru_add_drain(), is skipped during tlb_finish_mmu(). Without it,
pages could still be held by per-cpu fbatches rather than be freed.
This fix adds lru_add_drain() prior to mmu_gather. This makes the code
consistent with other cases where mmu_gather is used for freeing pages.
