mm: update alloc_flags after oom killer has been called

It is possible for the oom killer to select current as the task to kill.
When this happens, alloc_flags needs to be updated accordingly to set
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS so the subsequent allocation attempt may use memory
reserves as the result of its thread having TIF_MEMDIE set if the
allocation is not __GFP_NOMEMALLOC.
