The charging path currently starts out with OOM condition checks when OOM is the rarest possible case. Rearrange this code to run OOM/task dying checks only after trying the percpu charge and the res_counter charge and bail out before entering reclaim. Attempting a charge does not hurt an (oom-)killed task as much as every charge attempt having to check OOM conditions. Also, only check __GFP_NOFAIL when the charge would actually fail.
