oom: improve oom disable handling
Tetsuo has reported that sysrq triggered OOM killer will print a
misleading information when no tasks are selected:
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
Out of memory: Kill process 4468 ((agetty)) score 0 or sacrifice child
Killed process 4468 ((agetty)) total-vm:43704kB, anon-rss:1760kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
Out of memory: Kill process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) score 0 or sacrifice child
Killed process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) total-vm:10704kB, anon-rss:120kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
The real reason is that there are no eligible tasks for the OOM killer
to select but since commit 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim
selection code for memcg and global oom") the semantic of out_of_memory
has changed without updating moom_callback.
This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which
is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In
order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both
oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own
because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.
Fixes: 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oom")
