Serge E. Hallyn 97829955ad oom_kill: remove uid==0 checks
Root processes are considered more important when out of memory and killing
proceses.  The check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN was augmented with a check for
uid==0 or euid==0.

There are several possible ways to look at this:

	1. uid comparisons are unnecessary, trust CAP_SYS_ADMIN
	   alone.  However CAP_SYS_RESOURCE is the one that really
	   means "give me extra resources" so allow for that as
	   well.
	2. Any privileged code should be protected, but uid is not
	   an indication of privilege.  So we should check whether
	   any capabilities are raised.
	3. uid==0 makes processes on the host as well as in containers
	   more important, so we should keep the existing checks.
	4. uid==0 makes processes only on the host more important,
	   even without any capabilities.  So we should be keeping
	   the (uid==0||euid==0) check but only when
	   userns==&init_user_ns.

I'm following number 1 here.

* Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
* for goading me into coding this file...
*
* The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
* we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
* in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
*
* Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
* machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
* for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
* kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

*
* Good in this context means that:

* 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
