Is the system still in this state? If yes I would check the last few OOM
reports which will tell you the pid of the oom victim and then I would
check sysrq+t whether they are still alive. And if yes check their stack
traces to see whether they are still in the allocation path or they got
stuck somewhere else or maybe they are not related at all...

sysrq+t might be useful even when this is not oom related because it can
pinpoint the task which is blocking your waiters.
