From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
Since f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen
before deferring) OOM killer relies on being able to thaw a frozen task
to handle OOM situation but a3201227f803 (freezer: make freezing() test
freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE) has reorganized the
code and stopped clearing freeze flag in __thaw_task. This means that
the target task only wakes up and goes into the fridge again because the
freezing condition hasn't changed for it. This reintroduces the bug
fixed by f660daac474c6f.
Fix the issue by checking for TIF_MEMDIE thread flag and get away from
the fridge if it is set. oom_scan_process_thread doesn't have to check
for the frozen task anymore because do_send_sig_info will wake up the
thread and TIF_MEMDIE is already set by that time.
