What does "the memory is allocated on behalf of the parent already" mean?
The memory used for argv[]/envp[] may not yet be visible from mm_struct when
the OOM killer is invoked.

If the parent is OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN and vfork()ed child doing execve()
with large argv[]/envp[] is not OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN, we should not hesitate
to OOM-kill vfork()ed child even if the parent is not OOM-killable.

	vfork()
	set_oom_adj()
	exec()
