[RFC PATCH v2 4/7] mm, oom: introduce oom_kill_all_tasks option for memory cgroups

[Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com>]

This option defines whether a cgroup should be treated
as a single entity by the OOM killer.

If set, the OOM killer will compare the whole cgroup with other
memory consumers (other cgroups and tasks in the root cgroup),
and in case of an OOM will kill all belonging tasks.

Disabled by default.
