staging: android/lowmemorykiller: Don't grab tasklist_lock

Grabbing tasklist_lock has its disadvantages, i.e. it blocks
process creation and destruction. If there are lots of processes,
blocking doesn't sound as a great idea.

For LMK, it is sufficient to surround tasks list traverse with
rcu_read_{,un}lock().

>From now on using force_sig() is not safe, as it can race with an
already exiting task, so we use send_sig() now. As a downside, it
won't kill PID namespace init processes, but that's not what we
want anyway.

staging: android/lowmemorykiller: Better mm handling

LMK should not directly check for task->mm. The reason is that the
process' threads may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other
threads may still have a valid mm. To catch this we use
find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an
appropriate task (with lock held).

staging: android/lowmemorykiller: No need for task->signal
 check

task->signal == NULL is not possible, so no need for these checks.

staging: android, lowmemorykiller: convert to use
 oom_score_adj

/proc/pid/oom_adj is deprecated and will be removed in August 2012
according to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt.  Convert its
usage in the lowmemorykiller to use the new interface, oom_score_adj,
instead.

android, lowmemorykiller: remove task handoff notifier

The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed
after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for
doing so.

It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at
all.  It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread
to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do
this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE
and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit.

The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for
threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal.
The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the
lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an
unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit.

This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on
CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.
