If you know that no other tasks are in the oom killer at suspend time, you 
can do what I mentioned earlier:

	struct zone *z;
	for_each_populated_zone(z)
		zone_set_flag(z, ZONE_OOM_LOCKED);

and then later

	for_each_populated_zone(z)
		zone_clear_flag(z, ZONE_OOM_LOCKED);

The only race there is if a task is currently in the oom killer and will 
subsequently clear ZONE_OOM_LOCKED for its zonelist.
