The default page memory unit of OOM task dump events might not be intuitive and potentially misleading for the non-initiated when debugging OOM events: These are pages and not kBs. Add a small printk prior to the task dump informing that the memory units are actually memory _pages_. Also extends PID field to align on up to 7 characters.
