[-mm PATCH 7/7] Memory controller OOM handling

[Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Out of memory handling for containers over their limit. A task from the
container over limit is chosen using the existing OOM logic and killed.

TODO:
1. As discussed in the OLS BOF session, consider implementing a user
space policy for OOM handling.
