mm, oom: allow exiting threads to have access to memory reserves

Exiting threads, those with PF_EXITING set, can pagefault and require
memory before they can make forward progress.  This happens, for instance,
when a process must fault task->robust_list, a userspace structure, before
detaching its memory.

These threads also aren't guaranteed to get access to memory reserves
unless oom killed or killed from userspace.  The oom killer won't grant
memory reserves if other threads are also exiting other than current and
stalling at the same point.  This prevents needlessly killing processes
when others are already exiting.

Instead of special casing all the possible situations between PF_EXITING
getting set and a thread detaching its mm where it may allocate memory,
which probably wouldn't get updated when a change is made to the exit
path, the solution is to give all exiting threads access to memory
reserves if they call the oom killer.  This allows them to quickly
allocate, detach its mm, and free the memory it represents.

Summary of Luigi's bug report:

: He had an oom condition where threads were faulting on task->robust_list
: and repeatedly called the oom killer but it would defer killing a thread
: because it saw other PF_EXITING threads.  This can happen anytime we need
: to allocate memory after setting PF_EXITING and before detaching our mm;
: if there are other threads in the same state then the oom killer won't do
: anything unless one of them happens to be killed from userspace.
:
: So instead of only deferring for PF_EXITING and !task->robust_list, it's
: better to just give them access to memory reserves to prevent a potential
: livelock so that any other faults that may be introduced in the future in
: the exit path don't cause the same problem (and hopefully we don't allow
: too many of those!).

oom: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY

N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has normal or high memory.
N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory.

The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory, we should
use N_MEMORY instead.

mm, oom: cleanup pagefault oom handler

To lock the entire system from parallel oom killing, it's possible to pass
in a zonelist with all zones rather than using for_each_populated_zone()
for the iteration.  This obsoletes try_set_system_oom() and
clear_system_oom() so that they can be removed.

mm, oom: remove redundant sleep in pagefault oom handler

out_of_memory() will already cause current to schedule if it has not been
killed, so doing it again in pagefault_out_of_memory() is redundant.
Remove it.

mm/oom_kill: remove weird use of ERR_PTR()/PTR_ERR().

The normal expectation for ERR_PTR() is to put a negative errno into a
pointer.  oom_kill puts the magic -1 in the result (and has since
pre-git), which is probably clearer with an explicit cast.

oom_kill: change oom_kill.c to use for_each_thread()

Change oom_kill.c to use for_each_thread() rather than the racy
while_each_thread() which can loop forever if we race with exit.

Note also that most users were buggy even if while_each_thread() was
fine, the task can exit even _before_ rcu_read_lock().

Fortunately the new for_each_thread() only requires the stable
task_struct, so this change fixes both problems.

oom_kill: has_intersects_mems_allowed() needs rcu_read_lock()

At least out_of_memory() calls has_intersects_mems_allowed() without
even rcu_read_lock(), this is obviously buggy.

Add the necessary rcu_read_lock().  This means that we can not simply
return from the loop, we need "bool ret" and "break".

While at it, swap the names of task_struct's (the argument and the
local).  This cleans up the code a little bit and avoids the unnecessary
initialization.

oom_kill: add rcu_read_lock() into find_lock_task_mm()

find_lock_task_mm() expects it is called under rcu or tasklist lock, but
it seems that at least oom_unkillable_task()->task_in_mem_cgroup() and
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory()->oom_badness() can call it lockless.

Perhaps we could fix the callers, but this patch simply adds rcu lock
into find_lock_task_mm().  This also allows to simplify a bit one of its
callers, oom_kill_process().
