Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 0aad4b3 ("oom: fold __out_of_memory into out_of_memory")
introduced a tasklist_lock leak.  Then it caused following obvious
danger warnings 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.
