Subject: [patch] mm, oom: header nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled

Commit 82e7d3abec86 ("oom: print nodemask in the oom report") implicitly 
sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is 
no effective mempolicy.  cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective 
when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by dump_header(), so 
setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and 
prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the 
page allocator.

This provides better debugging output since 
cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.
