Sorry about that and thanks for your fixup! I am not very familiar with
!MMU world and haven't heard about issues with the OOM deadlocks yet. So
I guess making this MMU only makes some sense. I would just get rid of
ifdefs in oom_kill_process and provide an empty wake_oom_reaper for
!CONFIG_MMU.  The following on top of yours:
