David Rientjes e365893236 oom: remove special handling for pagefault ooms
It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom
locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory().

All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a
parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing
so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task.  The context in
which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so
this is done on a system-wide level.

If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this
will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the
system with TIF_MEMDIE set.
