oom: avoid killing kthreads if they assume the oom killed thread's mm

After selecting a task to kill, the oom killer iterates all processes and
kills all other threads that share the same mm_struct in different thread
groups.  It would not otherwise be helpful to kill a thread if its memory
would not be subsequently freed.

A kernel thread, however, may assume a user thread's mm by using
use_mm().  This is only temporary and should not result in sending a
SIGKILL to that kthread.

This patch ensures that only user threads and not kthreads are sent a
SIGKILL if they share the same mm_struct as the oom killed task.
