Subject: oom: fix locking for oom_adj and oom_score_adj
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>

The locking order in oom_adjust_write() and oom_score_adj_write() for
task->alloc_lock and task->sighand->siglock is reversed, and lockdep
notices that irqs could encounter an ABBA scenario.

This fixes the locking order so that we always take task_lock(task) prior
to lock_task_sighand(task).
