David Rientjes 6d2661ede5 oom: fix possible oom_dump_tasks NULL pointer
When /proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled, it is possible to get a NULL
pointer for tasks that have detached mm's since task_lock() is not held
during the tasklist scan.  Add the task_lock().

* linux/mm/oom_kill.c
*
* Copyright (C) 1998,2000 Rik van Riel
* Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
* for goading me into coding this file...
*
* 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.

* to kill when we run out of memory.
*
* Good in this context means that:
* 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done

* 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
* 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
* 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
* algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
* of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
