oom: dump stack and VM state when oom killer panics
The oom killer header, including information such as the allocation order and gfp mask, current's cpuset and memory controller, call trace, and VM state information is currently only shown when the oom killer has selected a task to kill. This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as the allocation order and VM state when diagnosing such issues, especially at boot. This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug reports can include pertinent information to debug the issue, if possible.
