Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] memcg: fix oom killing a child process in an other cgroup

This patch itself is againt mmotm-Feb10 but can be applied to 2.6.32.8
without problem.

==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <[email protected]>

Now, oom-killer is memcg aware and it finds the worst process from
processes under memcg(s) in oom. Then, it kills victim's child at first.
It may kill a child in other cgroup and may not be any help for recovery.
And it will break the assumption users have...

This patch fixes it.
