oom: /proc/<pid>/oom_score treat kernel thread honestly
If a kernel thread is using use_mm(), badness() returns a positive value.
This is not a big issue because caller take care of it correctly. But
there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and
doesn't care that the task is a regular process.
Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value. But it's unkillable.
This incorrectness makes administration a little confusing.
This patch fixes it.
