Subject: [PATCH] improve lmk to avoid deadlock issue
Consider the following case:
Task A trigger lmk with a lock held, while process B try to
get this lock, but unfortunately B is the very culprit Task lmk select to
kill.
So B will never be killed, and A will forever select B to kill and
such dead lock trigger softlock up issue.
This patch try to pick the next task to break this loop.
