Subject: mm, oom_reaper: fix memory corruption

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the oom
reaper tries to unmap the victims address space

BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper  pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping:          (null) index:7f50cab1d
file:          (null) fault:          (null) mmap:          (null) readpage:          (null)
CPU: 2 PID: 1001 Comm: oom_reaper
Call Trace:

 [<ffffffffa4a03558>] unmap_page_range+0x1068/0x1130

 [<ffffffffa48d6ad1>] kthread+0xc1/0xe0

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient.  We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from a
different context than the oom victim exit path.  This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g.  to
read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.).  The race would look like
this

oom_reaper		oom_victim		task
						mmget_not_zero
			do_exit
			  mmput
__oom_reap_task_mm				mmput
  						  __mmput
						    exit_mmap
						      remove_vma
  unmap_page_range

Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which operates
on the mm struct rather than a task.  Any context which operates on a
remote mm struct should use this helper in place of tsk_is_oom_victim. 
The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared so it is stable in
the exit_mmap path.

Debugged by Tetsuo Handa.
