mm/oom_kill.c: avoid attempting to kill init sharing same memory
It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init
process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as
well.
This has been shown in practice:
Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009
And this will result in a kernel panic.
If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still
sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state.
However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to
panic due to unkillable processes.
