[PATCH] fix OOM killing of swapoff

These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do
its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held
here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any
moment, but that doesn't really matter).
