mm,oom: make oom_killer_disable() killable
While oom_killer_disable() is called by freeze_processes() after all user threads except the current thread are frozen, it is possible that kernel threads invoke the OOM killer and sends SIGKILL to the current thread due to sharing the thawed victim's memory. Therefore, checking for SIGKILL is preferable than TIF_MEMDIE.
