mm, oom: remove 'prefer children over parent' heuristic

Since the start of the git history of Linux, the kernel after selecting
the worst process to be oom-killed, prefer to kill its child (if the
child does not share mm with the parent).  Later it was changed to
prefer to kill a child who is worst.  If the parent is still the worst
then the parent will be killed.

This heuristic assumes that the children did less work than their parent
and by killing one of them, the work lost will be less.  However this is
very workload dependent.  If there is a workload which can benefit from
this heuristic, can use oom_score_adj to prefer children to be killed
before the parent.

The select_bad_process() has already selected the worst process in the
system/memcg.  There is no need to recheck the badness of its children
and hoping to find a worse candidate.  That's a lot of unneeded racy
work.  Also the heuristic is dangerous because it make fork bomb like
workloads to recover much later because we constantly pick and kill
processes which are not memory hogs.  So, let's remove this whole
heuristic.
