Subject: oom_reaper: avoid pointless atomic_inc_not_zero usage.
Since commit 36324a990cf578b5 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper
managed to unmap the address space") changed to use find_lock_task_mm()
for finding a mm_struct to reap, it is guaranteed that mm->mm_users > 0
because find_lock_task_mm() returns a task_struct with ->mm != NULL.
Therefore, we can safely use atomic_inc().
