[PATCH -mm] Kill existing current task quickly

[Minchan Kim]

I am not sure why didn't we break the loop until now. 
As looking git log, I found it is removed by Nick at b78483a.
He mentioned "introduced a problem". If I miss something, 
pz, correct me.

[PATCH -mm] Kill existing current task quickly

If we found current task is existing but didn't set TIF_MEMDIE
during OOM victim selection, let's stop unnecessary looping for
getting high badness score task and go ahead for killing current.

This patch would make side effect skip OOM_DISABLE test.
But It's okay since the task is existing and oom_kill_process
doesn't show any killing message since __oom_kill_task will
interrupt it in oom_kill_process.
