Subject: mm/oom_kill.c: avoid killing init
When an oom killing happens we can see:
Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009
That's because the busybox init will vfork a process then
oom_kill_process() finfs the init process instead of its children, because
their mm is the same when using vfork.
