------------------------------------------------------
Subject: oom: kthread infinite loop fix
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Skip kernel threads, rather than having them return 0 from badness.
Theoretically, badness might truncate all results to 0, thus a kernel thread
might be picked first, causing an infinite loop.
