add_to_kill() expects the first 'tk' to be pre-allocated, it makes
subsequent allocations on need basis, this makes the code a bit
difficult to read. Move all the allocation internal to add_to_kill()
and drop the **tk argument.

Hi Jane, looks good. Checkpatch prompts me to point out a couple more fixups:

This patch is titled:

    "mm/memory-failure.c clean up..."

...to match the second patch it should be:

    "mm/memory-failure: clean up..."

checkpatch points out that this error message can be deleted.
According to the commit that added this check (ebfdc40969f2
"checkpatch: attempt to find unnecessary 'out of memory' messages")
the kernel already prints a message and a backtrace on these events,
so seems like a decent additional cleanup to fold.

With those fixups you can add:

...along with Naoya's ack.

I would Cc: Andrew Morton on the v5 posting of these as he's the
upstream path for changes to this file.
