[Devel] [PATCH rh7 2/2] memcg: optimize the "Search everything else" loop in mm_update_next_owner()

[Andrey Ryabinin]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg at redhat.com>

for_each_process_thread() is sub-optimal. All threads share the same
->mm, we can swicth to the next process once we found a thread with
->mm != NULL and ->mm != mm.
