memcontrol: move oom task exclusion to tasklist scan
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a
memory controller:

	int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task,
			       const struct mem_cgroup *mem);

When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function.  It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.
