The charging path currently starts out with OOM condition checks when
OOM is the rarest possible case.
Rearrange this code to run OOM/task dying checks only after trying the
percpu charge and the res_counter charge and bail out before entering
reclaim. Attempting a charge does not hurt an (oom-)killed task as
much as every charge attempt having to check OOM conditions. Also,
only check __GFP_NOFAIL when the charge would actually fail.
