[PATCH v3] Print the memcg's name when system-wide OOM happened

[PATCH v3] Print the memcg's name when system-wide OOM happened

[ufo19890607]

From: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@didichuxing.com>

The dump_header does not print the memcg's name when the system
oom happened. So users cannot locate the certain container which
contains the task that has been killed by the oom killer.

System oom report will contain the memcg's name after this patch,
so users can get the memcg's path from the oom report and check
that container more quickly.

Changes since v2:
- add the mem_cgroup_print_memcg_name helper to print the memcg's
  name which contains the task that will be killed by the oom-killer.

Changes since v1:
- replace adding mem_cgroup_print_oom_info with printing the memcg's
  name only.

I'd expect the output to look rather strange.  "Task in wibble killed
as a result of limit of " with no newline, followed by the show_mem()
output.

Is this really what you intended?  If so, why?

It would help to include an example dump in the changelog so that
others can more easily review your intent.
