mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct.  It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.

However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler.  Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.

Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.

	...
	set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
	...
	if (vfork() == 0) {
		set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
		execve("foo-bar-cmd");
	}
	....

vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct.  then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent.  Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.

Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.

Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.
