Group,


	Out of memory (oom) process killer is invoked when there is EXTREME  
memory stress.

	With the understanding that anytime we kill a process, a minimal  
amount of information
	about the process should be kept to be able to backtrack why a system  
may be currently
	be running with less than a normal level of functionality.

	Thus, ./mm/oom_kill.c : oom_kill_process()

	This change limits the amount of printing while keeping the coarse  
level of info
	when a process is killed within one function. The later function  
calls generate
	multiple times of output than the one printk that we are keeping.

	move the if (printf_ratelimit() ) { statement to after the printk  
invoked oom-killer

	2ndly, should the not / " ! "  be stated within the ratelimit check?

	Mitchell Erblich
	FYI: This CHANGE is one of a set of simple set of changes AND is my  
"due-dilligence" of what was partially done
	        for a company and due to ... was not submitted back to  
Linux.org. The major section re-writes are not being
	        submitted at this time.
