memcg, oom: check memcg margin for parallel oom

Memcg oom killer invocation is synchronized by the global oom_lock and
tasks are sleeping on the lock while somebody is selecting the victim or
potentially race with the oom_reaper is releasing the victim's memory.
This can result in a pointless oom killer invocation because a waiter
might be racing with the oom_reaper

        P1              oom_reaper              P2
                        oom_reap_task           mutex_lock(oom_lock)
                                                out_of_memory # no victim because we have one already
                        __oom_reap_task_mm      mute_unlock(oom_lock)
 mutex_lock(oom_lock)
                        set MMF_OOM_SKIP
 select_bad_process
 # finds a new victim

The page allocator prevents from this race by trying to allocate after the
lock can be acquired (in __alloc_pages_may_oom) which acts as a last
minute check.  Moreover page allocator simply doesn't block on the
oom_lock and simply retries the whole reclaim process.

Memcg oom killer should do the last minute check as well.  Call
mem_cgroup_margin to do that.  Trylock on the oom_lock could be done as
well but this doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage.
