[PATCH] memcg: fix mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() return value.

[Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>]

mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() is returning "true" if it finds a TIF_MEMDIE
task after an eligible task was found, "false" if it found a TIF_MEMDIE
task before an eligible task is found.

This difference confuses memory_max_write() which checks the return value
of mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). Since memory_max_write() wants to continue
looping, mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() should return "true" in this case.

This patch sets a dummy pointer in order to return "true".
