From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

In oom_badness() and proc_oom_score(), the oom_score_adj normalization
uses a hardcoded 1000, which is the value of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX defined
in include/uapi/linux/oom.h.  Other code in the kernel (e.g.
fs/proc/base.c oom_adj handling) already uses OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX for
the same purpose.

Replace the magic number with the macro for consistency and
readability.  No functional change.

I am not really sure this adds to the readability much TBH but no
fundamental objections from me.
