oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set

get_user_pages() can try to allocate a nearly unlimited amount of memory on
behalf of a user process, even if that process has been OOM killed.  The
OOM kill occurs upon return to user space via a SIGKILL, but
get_user_pages() will try allocate all its memory before returning.  Change
get_user_pages() to check for TIF_MEMDIE, and if set then return
immediately.
