oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0.  This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.

Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
check child->mm != t->mm.  This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
anyway.

Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.
