[PATCH 1/2] doc, mm: sync up oom_score_adj documentation

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

There are at least two notes in the oom section. The 3% discount for
root processes is gone since d46078b28889 ("mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for
CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes").

Likewise children of the selected oom victim are not sacrificed since
bbbe48029720 ("mm, oom: remove 'prefer children over parent' heuristic")

Drop both of them.
