Subject: memcg: initiate deprecation of oom_control
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 13:28:24 -0700

The oom_control provides functionality to disable memcg oom-killer,
notifications on oom-kill and reading the stats regarding oom-kills.  This
interface was mainly introduced to provide functionality for userspace
oom-killers.  However it is not robust enough and only supports OOM
handling in the page fault path.

For v2, the users can use the combination of memory.events notifications
and memory.high interface to provide userspace OOM-killing functionality. 
Let's start the deprecation process for v1 and gather the info on how the
current users are using this interface and work on providing a more robust
functionality in v2.
