The only place the oom killer emits information on what it does via the 
kernel log so changing this has the potential for messing up a number of 
scripts that people are using for parsing it (this would break some of our 
log scraping code, for instance).

This adds nothing except a bogus message that is emitted when 
select_bad_process() races with oom_kill_process() and no kill occurs 
because all threads of the selected process have detached their mm.

Nack.
