Subject: mm,oom: use ALLOC_OOM for OOM victim's last second allocation
Manish Jaggi noticed that running LTP oom01/oom02 ltp tests with high core
count causes random kernel panics when an OOM victim which consumed memory
in a way the OOM reaper does not help was selected by the OOM killer [1].
Since commit 696453e66630ad45 ("mm, oom: task_will_free_mem should skip
oom_reaped tasks") changed task_will_free_mem(current) in out_of_memory()
to return false as soon as MMF_OOM_SKIP is set, many threads sharing the
victim's mm were not able to try allocation from memory reserves after the
OOM reaper gave up reclaiming memory.
Therefore, this patch allows OOM victims to use ALLOC_OOM watermark for
last second allocation attempt.
