[RFC][PATCH] oom: Be less verbose if the oom_control event fd has listeners

[Richard Weinberger]

Don't spam the kernel logs if the oom_control event fd has listeners.
In this case there is no need to print that much lines as user space
will anyway notice that the memory cgroup has reached its limit.
