mm, oom: OOM sysrq should always kill a process
The OOM kill sysrq (alt+sysrq+F) should allow the user to kill the process with the highest OOM badness with a single execution. However, at the moment, the OOM kill can bail out if an OOM notifier (e.g. the i915 one) says that it reclaimed a tiny amount of memory from somewhere. That's probably not what the user wants, so skip the bailout if the OOM was triggered via sysrq.
