oom: PF_EXITING check should take mm into account
select_bad_process() checks PF_EXITING to detect the task which is going
to release its memory, but the logic is very wrong.
- a single process P with the dead group leader disables
select_bad_process() completely, it will always return
ERR_PTR() while P can live forever
- if the PF_EXITING task has already released its ->mm
it doesn't make sense to expect it is goiing to free
more memory (except task_struct/etc)
Change the code to ignore the PF_EXITING tasks without ->mm.
