oom: print nodemask in the oom report

We have received a hard to explain oom report from a customer.  The oom
triggered regardless there is a lot of free memory:

So all nodes but Node 0 have a lot of free memory which should suggest
that there is an available memory especially when mems_allowed=0-7.  One
could speculate that a massive process has managed to terminate and free
up a lot of memory while racing with the above allocation request.
Although this is highly unlikely it cannot be ruled out.

A further debugging, however shown that the faulting process had
mempolicy (not cpuset) to bind to Node 0.  We cannot see that
information from the report though.  mems_allowed turned out to be more
confusing than really helpful.

Fix this by always priting the nodemask.  It is either mempolicy mask
(and non-null) or the one defined by the cpusets.  The new output for
the above oom report would be

  PoolThread invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x280da(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0

This patch doesn't touch show_mem and the node filtering based on the
cpuset node mask because mempolicy is always a subset of cpusets and
seeing the full cpuset oom context might be helpful for tunning more
specific mempolicies inside cpusets (e.g.  when they turn out to be too
restrictive).  To prevent from ugly ifdefs the mask is printed even for
!NUMA configurations but this should be OK (a single node will be
printed).
