David Rientjes b72bdfa736 mm, oom: add comment for why oom_adj exists ...

/proc/pid/oom_adj exists solely to avoid breaking existing userspace
binaries that write to the tunable.

Add a comment in the only possible location within the kernel tree to
describe the situation and motivation for keeping it around.
