[PATCH 3/5] oom: oom-killer don't use proportion of system-ram internally

[KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>]

CAI Qian reported his kernel did hang-up if he ran fork intensive
workload and then invoke oom-killer.

The problem is, current oom calculation uses 0-1000 normalized value
(The unit is a permillage of system-ram). Its low precision make
a lot of same oom score. IOW, in his case, all processes have smaller
oom score than 1 and internal calculation round it to 1.

Thus oom-killer kill ineligible process. This regression is caused by
commit a63d83f427 (oom: badness heuristic rewrite).

The solution is, the internal calculation just use number of pages
instead of permillage of system-ram. And convert it to permillage
value at displaying time.

This patch doesn't change any ABI (included  /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj)
even though current logic has a lot of my dislike thing.
