This value is interesting especially for setups which do not print
eligible tasks (sysctl oom_dump_tasks = 0) and helps to notice a
misconfiguration <YOUR UDEV EXAMPLE GOES HERE> or to confirm that
oom_score_adj configuration applies as expected.

With that feel free to add
Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

and post as a stand alone patch. Btw. the patch could be simplified by
not using a helper variable and using victim->signal->oom_score_adj
right in the pr_err.

Thanks!
