syzbot is hitting WARN(1) due to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() == false.

I can't tell what change is triggering this race. Maybe removal of oom_lock from
the oom reaper made more likely to hit. But anyway I suspect that

static bool oom_kill_memcg_victim(struct oom_control *oc)
{
        if (oc->chosen_memcg == NULL || oc->chosen_memcg == INFLIGHT_VICTIM)
                return oc->chosen_memcg; // <= This line is still broken

because

                /* We have one or more terminating processes at this point. */
                oc->chosen_task = INFLIGHT_VICTIM;

is not called.

Also, that patch is causing confusion by reviving schedule_timeout_killable(1)
with oom_lock held.

Can we temporarily drop cgroup-aware OOM killer from linux-next.git and
apply my cleanup patch? Since the merge window is approaching, I really want to
see how next -rc1 would look like...
