[PATCH] proc_oom_score: remove tasklist_lock and pid_alive()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Jun 08 2016 - 17:19:30 EST


This was needed before to ensure that ->signal != 0 and do_each_thread()
is safe, see the commit b95c35e76b29b for details.

Today tsk->signal can't go away and for_each_thread(tsk) is always safe.
