[PATCH] mm,oom_reaper: Remove pointless kthread_run() error check.

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

Since oom_init() is called before userspace processes start, memory
allocation failure for creating the OOM reaper kernel thread will let
the OOM killer call panic() rather than wake up the OOM reaper.
