Sure, a task could be killed with a very low /proc/pid/oom_score, but only 
if its cpuset is oom, for example, and it has the highest score of all 
tasks attached to that oom_score.  So /proc/pid/oom_score needs to be 
considered in the context in which the oom occurs: system-wide, cpuset, 
mempolicy, or memcg.  That's unchanged from the old oom killer.
