It is worth mentioning that David's suggested change, while I agree with Michal
that it should be a separate issue from updating the OOM Killed process message,
certainly has merit. Though, it's not strictly necessary for what I
was asking for.

If you have scripts that scan your logs from OOM events, having a regular format
to OOM output makes parsing easier. With David's suggestion there would always
be a "Tasks state" section and the vm.oom_dump_tasks still works but
it just prevents
all the tasks from being dumped not from dumping the killed process.

OOM output was reorganized not that long ago as we discussed earlier to provide
improved organization of data, so this proposal would be in line with
that change.

If there is interest in this I can submit a separate patch submission.
