Revise some oom dump messages to avoid misleading admin.
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.
