This patch makes the warning more verbose by making it appear as a more serious problem (the presence of a stack trace and being multiline should attract more attention) so that applications still using the old interface can get fixed. Very popular users of the old interface have been converted since the oom killer rewrite has been introduced. udevd switched to the /proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface for v162, kde switched in 4.6.1, and opensshd switched in 5.7p1. At the start of 2012, this should be changed into a WARN() to emit all such incidents and then finally remove the tunable in August 2012 as scheduled.
