As we discussed in this thread
https://lore.kernel.org/all/YY4snVzZZZYhbigV@dhcp22.suse.cz,
__oom_reap_task_mm in exit_mmap allows oom-reaper/process_mrelease to
unmap pages in parallel with exit_mmap without blocking each other.
Removal of __oom_reap_task_mm from exit_mmap prevents this parallelism
and has a negative impact on performance. So the conclusion of that
thread I thought was to keep that part. My understanding is that we
also wanted to remove MMF_OOM_SKIP as a follow-up patch but
__oom_reap_task_mm would stay.
