What exactly is unsafe about calling debug_show_all_locks here? It is true that 856848737bd944c1 has changed debug_show_all_locks to ignore running tasks which limits this functionality to some degree but I still think this might be useful. Proposed alternatives were way too verbose and complex on its own.

So, please go ahead. I am happy that we are on the same patch here. > My other concerns about OOM handling: Let's stick to oom reaper here, please.
