[PATCH 05/22] oom: Use number of online nodes when deciding whether to suppress messages

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>]

Commit 29423e77 (oom: suppress show_mem() for many nodes in irq context
on page alloc failure) was meant to suppress printing excessive amounts
of information in IRQ context on large machines. However, it uses a kernel
config variable which the maximum supported number of nodes, not the number
of online nodes to make the decision. Effectively, on some distribution
configurations the message will be suppressed even on small machines. This
patch uses nr_online_nodes to decide whether to suppress messges.
