Since commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") this is the case only when the kernel memcg oom killer is disabled (current->memcg_in_oom is only set if memcg->oom_kill_disable). Therefore a check for oom_kill_disable in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is not required.
