Yep, 3.8 shuffled TIF_MEMDIE to the end of the queue, but
in 3.10, mainline commit 22ecbe8dcef has already done that trick.

The list of donor victims that aren't used in asm is getting
smaller, but TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG seems OK and it puts RESCHED
and RESCHED_LAZY right beside each other.

Thanks guys,
Paul.
