oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to signal_struct

Currently, OOM logic callflow is here.

    __out_of_memory()
        select_bad_process()            for each task
            badness()                   calculate badness of one task
                oom_kill_process()      search child
                    oom_kill_task()     kill target task and mm shared tasks with it

example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very
fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score.

     thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0
     thread-B: oom_adj = 0,           oom_score = very-high

Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE.  Thus __out_of_memory()
call select_bad_process() again.  but select_bad_process() select the same
task.  It mean kernel fall in livelock.

The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task.  otherwise
OOM logic go into livelock.

And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value.  it should be
per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread.  Thus
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct signal_struct.  it naturally prevent
select_bad_process() choose wrong task.
