[PATCH] select_bad_process(): kill a bogus PF_DEAD/TASK_DEAD check
The only one usage of TASK_DEAD outside of last schedule path, select_bad_process: for_each_task(p) { if (!p->mm) continue; ... if (p->state == TASK_DEAD) continue; ... TASK_DEAD state is set at the end of do_exit(), this means that p->mm was already set == NULL by exit_mm(), so this task was already rejected by 'if (!p->mm)' above. Note also that the caller holds tasklist_lock, this means that p can't pass exit_notify() and then set TASK_DEAD when p->mm != NULL. Also, remove open-coded is_init().
