Subject[patch v2] mm, oom: prevent soft lockup on memcg oom for UP systems
When a process is oom killed as a result of memcg limits and the victim
is waiting to exit, nothing ends up actually yielding the processor back
to the victim on UP systems with preemption disabled. Instead, the
charging process simply loops in memcg reclaim and eventually soft
lockups.

Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 808 (repro) total-vm:41944kB,
anon-rss:35344kB, file-rss:504kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 pgtables:108kB

Make sure that once the oom killer has been called that we forcibly yield
if current is not the chosen victim regardless of priority to allow for
memory freeing. The same situation can theoretically occur in the page
allocator, so do this after dropping oom_lock there as well.
