A previous patch to allow an exiting task to OOM kill itself (and thereby avoid a little deadlock) introduced a problem. We don't want the PF_EXITING task, even if it is 'current', to access mem reserves if there is already a TIF_MEMDIE process in the system sucking up reserves. Also make the commenting a little bit clearer, and note that our current scheme of effectively single threading the OOM killer is not itself perfect.
