In multi-threading environment, if the current task(A) have got
the mm->mmap_sem semaphore, and the thread(B) in the same process
is selected to be oom killed, because they shares the same semaphore,
thread B can not really be killed. So __alloc_pages_slowpath turns
to be a infinite loop. Here set all the threads in the group to
TIF_MEMDIE, it gets a chance to break and exit.
