mm: fix handling of panic_on_oom when cpusets are in use

The current panic_on_oom may not work if there is a process using
cpusets/mempolicy, because other nodes' memory may remain.  But some people
want failover by panic ASAP even if they are used.  This patch makes new
setting for its request.

This is tested on my ia64 box which has 3 nodes.

This enables or disables panic on out-of-memory feature. If this is set to 1,
the kernel panics when out-of-memory happens. If this is set to 0, the kernel
will kill some rogue process, called oom_killer. Usually, oom_killer can kill
rogue processes and system will survive. If you want to panic the system
rather than killing rogue processes, set this to 1.

If this is set to 1, the kernel panics when out-of-memory happens.
However, if a process limits using nodes by mempolicy/cpusets,
and those nodes become memory exhaustion status, one process
may be killed by oom-killer. No panic occurs in this case.
Because other nodes' memory may be free. This means system total status
may be not fatal yet.
If this is set to 2, the kernel panics compulsorily even on the
above-mentioned.
The default value is 0.
1 and 2 are for failover of clustering. Please select either
according to your policy of failover.
