This isn't the oom killer - look more closely at your oops:
do_wp_page: bogus page at address 2000002dbc0 (page 0xfffffc173ab13b00) VM: killing process cc1(29719)
Note the "do_wp_page" message _before_ the VM decided to kill the process. And the first oops seems to be more of the same: big corruption in the page tables.
Looks like the oom killer kicked in under extreme memory load, but the extreme memory load caused something else too.
