Subject: oom: extract panic helper function
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must determine
whether to panic or not. It's better to extract this to a helper function
to remove all the confusion as to its semantics.
Also fix a call to dump_header() where tasklist_lock is not read- locked,
as required.
There's no functional change with this patch.
