oom_kill.c assumes that PF_EXITING task should exit and free the memory soon. This is wrong in many ways and one important case is the coredump. A task can sleep in exit_mm() "forever" while the coredumping sub-thread can need more memory. Change the PF_EXITING checks to take SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP into account, we add the new trivial helper for that. Note: this is only the first step, this patch doesn't try to solve other problems. The SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is obviously racy, a task can participate in coredump after it was already observed in PF_EXITING state, so TIF_MEMDIE (which also blocks oom-killer) still can be wrongly set. fatal_signal_pending() can be true because of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP so out_of_memory() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() shouldn't blindly trust it. And even the name/usage of the new helper is confusing, an exiting thread can only free its ->mm if it is the only/last task in thread group.
