oom_score_adj is shown already in the tasklist dump, I'm not sure what

This is going to be racy, we can't show that a task that is emitted as 
part of the tasklist dump was did not have in_vfork() == true at the time 
oom_badness() was called.

Wouldn't it be better to simply print the output of oom_badness() to the 
tasklist dump instead so we get complete information?

We could simply special case a LONG_MIN return value as -1000 or "min".
