[PATCH v13 1/7] mm, oom: refactor the oom_kill_process() function

[Roman Gushchin]

The oom_kill_process() function consists of two logical parts:
the first one is responsible for considering task's children as
a potential victim and printing the debug information.
The second half is responsible for sending SIGKILL to all
tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.

This commit splits the oom_kill_process() function with
an intention to re-use the the second half: __oom_kill_process().

The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks
belonging to the victim cgroup. We don't need to print
the debug information for the each task, as well as play
with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().
