There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must determine
whether to panic or not.  It's better to extract this to a helper function
to remove all the confusion as to its semantics.

Also fix a call to dump_header() where tasklist_lock is not read- locked,
as required.

There's no functional change with this patch.
