The mm is shared between previous victim and next victim, but these victims
are in different thread groups. The OOM killer selects next victim whose mm
was already reaped due to sharing previous victim's memory. We don't want
the OOM killer to select such next victim. Maybe set MMF_OOM_REAP_DONE on
the previous victim's mm and check it instead of TIF_MEMDIE when selecting
a victim? That will also avoid problems caused by clearing TIF_MEMDIE?
