oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLE
This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score. This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future memory freeing anyway. Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other thread groups).
