[PATCH 22 of 24] extract select helper function

# Node ID 8807a4d14b241b2d1132fde7f83834603b6cf093

extract select helper function

Extracts the call to select_bad_process() and the corresponding check for
a NULL return value or call to oom_kill_process() to its own function.
This will be used later for the cpuset case where we will require
different locking mechanisms than the generic case.
