The policy_name may be different from the previous OOM reporting, even 
though they are using the same policy.

There can be multiple OOM policy in the system at the same time.

If we need to apply different OOM policies to different memcgs based on 
different scenarios, we can use this hook(set_oom_policy_name) to set 
name to identify which policy in invoked at that time.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks.
