BACKPORT: mm: oom_kill: don't ignore oom score on exiting tasks



When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it
force-selects that task regardless of the score.  The problem is that if
that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is
holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim.

Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM
killer.  We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we
decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free
memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill.
This is testing pure noise.  Remove it.

BUG=chromium:706048, chromium:702707
TEST=With whole series, eating memory doesn't hang system

There were extra checked in 3.14, but the concept is still the same.
