[patch -mm 04/18] oom: extract panic helper function

[David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>]

There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must
determine whether to panic or not.  It's better to extract this to a
helper function to remove all the confusion as to its semantics.

There's no functional change with this patch.
