Is the task_lock really necessary, though? E.g. oom_task_origin()
doesn't seem to depend on it for task->signal safety. If you are
referring to races with changing oom_score_adj does such a race matter
at all?

To me this looks like a reasonable cleanup because we _know_ that
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN means OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE and do not really have to go
down to oom_badness to find that out. Or what am I missing?
