How, by the time we get here we have already decided we are going to
OOMkill or panic. This change just obeys sysctl_panic_on_oom before
killing current.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/* check if we are going to panic before enything else... */
if (sysctl_panic_on_oom)
panic("out of memory. panic_on_oom is selected\n");
/*
* Check if there were limitations on the allocation
* NUMA) that may require different handling.
*/
switch (constrained_alloc(zonelist, gfp_mask)) {
case CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY:
oom_kill_process(current, points,
"No available memory (MPOL_BIND)");
break;

case CONSTRAINT_CPUSET:
oom_kill_process(current, points,
"No available memory in cpuset");
break;

case CONSTRAINT_NONE:
retry:
/*
* Rambo mode: Shoot down a process and hope
* issues we may have.
*/
p = select_bad_process(&points);

if (PTR_ERR(p) == -1UL)
goto out;

/* Found nothing?!?! Either we hang or we panic. */
