mm/oom_kill: fix the wrong task->mm == mm checks in oom_kill_process()
Both "child->mm == mm" and "p->mm != mm" checks in oom_kill_process() are wrong. task->mm can be NULL if the task is the exited group leader. This means in particular that "kill sharing same memory" loop can miss a process with a zombie leader which uses the same ->mm. Note: the process_has_mm(child, p->mm) check is still not 100% correct, p->mm can be NULL too. This is minor, but probably deserves a fix or a comment anyway.
