[PATCH] oom: don't kill current when another OOM in progress
A previous patch to allow an exiting task to OOM kill itself (and thereby
avoid a little deadlock) introduced a problem. We don't want the
PF_EXITING task, even if it is 'current', to access mem reserves if there
is already a TIF_MEMDIE process in the system sucking up reserves.
Also make the commenting a little bit clearer, and note that our current
scheme of effectively single threading the OOM killer is not itself
perfect.
