staging: android: lowmemorykiller: Don't try to kill the same pid over and over
Under certain circumstances, a process can take awhile to handle a sig-kill (especially if it's in a scheduler group with a very low share ratio). When this occurs, lowmemkiller returns to vmscan indicating the process memory has been freed - even though the process is still waiting to die. Since the memory hasn't actually freed, lowmemkiller is called again shortly after, and picks the same process to die; regardless of the fact that it has already been 'scheduled' to die and the memory has already been reported to vmscan as having been freed. Solution is to check fatal_signal_pending() on the selected task, and if it's already pending destruction return; indicating to vmscan that no resources were freed on this pass.
