This allows the thread to have access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit. This logic is preceeded with a comment saying there's no need to alarm the sysadmin. This patch adds truth to that statement. There's no need to emit any warning about the oom condition if the thread is already exiting since it will not be killed. In this condition, just silently return the oom killer since its only giving access to memory reserves and is otherwise a no-op.
