[PATCH 3/4] signal: oom_kill_task: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead offorce_sig()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED)
instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not
need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.

And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting
thread even if oom_kill_task() checks p->mm != NULL, while
do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.
