lmkd: prevent the main thread from reaping synchronously 

lmkd main thread is running at RT priority to prevent it from being
blocked by other processes. However when all reaper threads are busy,
lmkd will kill and reap the memory of the target process from the
context of the main thread and that can cause two issues:
1. lmkd main thread gets blocked for considerable duration.
2. lmkd main and reaper threads might monopolize CPUs.
To prevent these issues, when all reaper threads are busy, lmkd will
send a SIGKILL but will not synchronously reap the memory of the target
process.
