Is there any reason why we cannot simply call __oom_reap_task_mm as we
have it now? mmap_sem for read shouldn't fail here because this is the
last reference of the mm and we are past the ksm and khugepaged
synchronizations. So unless my jed laged brain fools me the patch should
be as simple as the following (I haven't tested it at all).
