SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] mm/oom_kill: allow oom kill allocating task for non-global case

This is a global oom policy not a memcg specific one so a historical
behavior would change. So I do not think we can change that. The policy
can be implemented on the memcg level but this would require a much more
detailed explanation of the usecase and the semantic (e.g. wrt.
hierarchical behavior etc).
