I am not following you here. If we kill the process the whole process
group (aka all threads) will get killed which ever thread we happen to
send the sigkill to.

find_lock_task_mm chosing TIF_MEMDIE thread shouldn't change anything
because the whole thread group will go down anyway. If you want to
guarantee that the sysrq+f never choses a task which has a TIF_MEMDIE
thread then we would have to check for fatal_signal_pending as well
AFAIU. Fiddling with find find_lock_task_mm will not help you though
unless I am missing something.
