oom: deprecate oom_adj tunable
/proc/pid/oom_adj is now deprecated so that that it may eventually be
removed. The target date for removal is August 2012.
A warning will be printed to the kernel log if a task attempts to use this
interface. Future warning will be suppressed until the kernel is rebooted
to prevent spamming the kernel log.
