oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock
Oleg pointed out current PF_EXITING check is wrong. Because PF_EXITING is per-thread flag, not per-process flag. He said, Two threads, group-leader L and its sub-thread T. T dumps the code. In this case both threads have ->mm != NULL, L has PF_EXITING. The first problem is, select_bad_process() always return -1 in this case (even if the caller is T, this doesn't matter). The second problem is that we should add TIF_MEMDIE to T, not L. I think we can remove this dubious PF_EXITING check. but as first step, This patch add the protection of multi threaded issue.
