oom_reap_task_mm should return false when __oom_reap_task_mm return
false. This is what my patch did but it seems this changed by
http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-oom-remove-oom_lock-from-oom_reaper.patch
so that one should be fixed.

On top of that the proposed cleanup looks as follows:
