[PATCH 2/2] oom: fix tasklist_lock leak

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

commit 0aad4b3124 (oom: fold __out_of_memory into out_of_memory)
introduced tasklist_lock leak. Then it caused following obvious
danger warings and panic.

    ================================================
    [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
    ------------------------------------------------
    rsyslogd/1422 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
    1 lock held by rsyslogd/1422:
     #0:  (tasklist_lock){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff810faf64>] out_of_memory+0x164/0x3f0
    BUG: scheduling while atomic: rsyslogd/1422/0x00000002
    INFO: lockdep is turned off.

This patch fixes it.
