Why unnecessary? If serial console is configured and printing a series of
"Kill process %d (%s) sharing same memory" took a few seconds, the OOM
victim can consume all memory via malloc() + memset(), can't it?
What to do if the OOM victim cannot die immediately after consuming
all memory? I think that sending SIGKILL before setting TIF_MEMDIE
helps reducing consumption of memory reserves.
