mm: oom_kill: reap memory of a task that receives SIGKILL
Free the pages parallely for a task that receives SIGKILL using the oom_reaper. This freeing of pages will help to give the pages to buddy system well advance. This reaps for the process which received SIGKILL through either sys_kill from user or kill_pid from kernel and that sending process has CAP_KILL capability. Also sysctl interface, reap_mem_on_sigkill, is added to turn on/off this feature.
