I just move the declaration here from the bottom of source file to make
the following use error-free.

Yes, the check is unnecessary... I'll remove it next version.

I'm also trying do so. show_free_areas() prints the memory related info
in two style:
one is in page unit and the oher is in KB (I've no idea why we distinct
them), but
I think the KB format is more readable.

It seems you're right. : )

The new memcg-oom info excludes global state out and prints the memcg
statistics instead
which seems more brevity. I'll add a sample next time. Thanks for
reminding me!
