Looked at this some more, and this is almost certainly because
vmpressure relies on workqueues. Scheduling delay from CFS workqueues
would explain vmpressure latency that results in oom-killer running
long before the critical vmpressure notification is received in
userspace, even if userspace is running as FIFO. We regularly see
10ms+ latency on workqueues, even when an Android device isn't heavily
loaded.
