Currently it's possible to mark a task as a victim even in case it has
already cleared its ->mm.

This might lead (and leads) to a situation when oom_unlock() believes
the OOM context will be released by the "victim" do_exit() ->
exit_oom_victim(), but our "victim" already passed the point of calling
exit_oom_victim() and thus OOM context is not released.

Add additional checks for task->mm in appropriate places, similar checks
are applied in mainstream code in the scope of:
    1af8bb432695 ("mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()")
    091f362c53c2 ("mm, oom: tighten task_will_free_mem() locking")

nit:

Instead of spelling this in comment I find it more robust if such
conditions are enforced via lockdep. For example :

lockdep_assert(lockdep_is_held(l) != LOCK_STATE_NOT_HELD || task == current)

Thank you for the nit, addressed it in the
[PATCH rh7 4/4] oom: Cast the lockdep spell in the code

Of course that's only helpful if we run tests with lockdep enabled
(which I don't know if we do ? )

Sure we do build debug kernels (with lockdep enabled) and test them.
