Commit 9bfe5ded054b ("mm, oom: remove sleep from under oom_lock") is a
mitigation for CVE-2016-10723.

"[PATCH] mm,page_alloc: PF_WQ_WORKER threads must sleep at
should_reclaim_retry()." is independent from CVE-2016-10723.

We haven't made sure that the OOM reaper / exit_mmap() will get enough CPU
resources. For example, under a cluster of concurrently allocating realtime
scheduling priority threads, the OOM reaper takes about 1800 milliseconds
whereas direct OOM reaping takes only a few milliseconds.

Regards.
