task_lock(p) protects p->mm->oom_disable_count such that it accurately 
represents the number of threads attached to that mm that cannot be
killed by the oom killer.  p->signal->oom_score_adj is never changed
without holding the lock.

This was missed in the fork() path, so we take the lock to ensure
checking its oom_score_adj and decrementing oom_disable_count don't race.
