mm, oom: replace some information in tasklist dump 

The number of ptes and swap entries are used in the oom killer's badness
heuristic, so they should be shown in the tasklist dump.

This patch adds those fields and replaces cpu and oom_adj values that are
currently emitted.  Cpu isn't interesting and oom_adj is deprecated and
will be removed later this year, the same information is already displayed
as oom_score_adj which is used internally.

At the same time, make the documentation a little more clear to state this
information is helpful to determine why the oom killer chose the task it
did to kill.

OOM killer was invoked, to identify the rogue task that caused it,

If this is set to zero, this information is suppressed. On very
large systems with thousands of tasks it may not be feasible to dump
