David Rientjes f19e8aa11a oom: always return a badness score of non-zero for eligible tasks
A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap
compared to the system's capacity.  The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with
the highest score chosen for kill.  Thus, this scale operates on a
resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap.  Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus,
so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example,
would still be 0.

It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to
exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than
0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks).

This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0
so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task
to kill.
