App hosting webview crashes when user changes "multiprocess webview" setting

Reported by pardeep....@gmail.com, Jul 1 2016 
THIS TEMPLATE IS FOR FILING BUGS ON THE ANDROID SYSTEM WEBVIEW. GENERAL WEB
BUGS SHOULD BE FILED USING A DIFFERENT TEMPLATE!

Device name:Nexus 6
Android version: N (build no = NPD56N)
WebView version (from system settings -> Apps -> Android System WebView): 51.0.2704.90 (but it is in disabled mode)
Application: test app
Application version:

URLs (if applicable):



Steps to reproduce:
(1) Launch any app which have webview in it.
(2) Go to settings and change the "multi process webview" setting


Expected result: no app crash/killed

Actual result: App getting killed with below line in logcat log:
07-01 12:15:55.466   584  1692 I ActivityManager: Killing 10736:<my app package name>/u0a90 (adj 101): dep: com.android.chrome

Closing as won't fix because this is expected - we want to kill apps using WebView when switching from/to multi-process to make sure the apps are restarted with the new mode enabled.

See
https://cs.corp.google.com/android/packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/DevelopmentSettings.java?sq&q=developmentsettings&l=810
for the code that kills WebView apps.
