From: KOSAKI Motohiro on
If kernel thread are using use_mm(), badness() return positive value.
This is not big issue because caller care it correctly. but there is
one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score call badness() directly and
don't care the task is regular process.

another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value. but it's unkillable.
This incorrectness makes confusing to admin a bit.

This patch fixes it.
