Luis Claudio R. Goncalves 93b43fa550 oom: give the dying task a higher priority
In a system under heavy load it was observed that even after the
oom-killer selects a task to die, the task may take a long time to die.

Right after sending a SIGKILL to the task selected by the oom-killer this
task has its priority increased so that it can exit() soon, freeing
memory.  That is accomplished by:

        /*
         * We give our sacrificial lamb high priority and access to
         * all the memory it needs. That way it should be able to
         * exit() and clear out its resources quickly...
         */
 	p->rt.time_slice = HZ;
 	set_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_MEMDIE);

It sounds plausible giving the dying task an even higher priority to be
sure it will be scheduled sooner and free the desired memory.  It was
suggested on LKML using SCHED_FIFO:1, the lowest RT priority so that this
task won't interfere with any running RT task.

If the dying task is already an RT task, leave it untouched.  Another good
suggestion, implemented here, was to avoid boosting the dying task
priority in case of mem_cgroup OOM.

* Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and

*
* The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
* we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
* in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
*
* Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
* machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
* for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
* kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.
